Shrewsbury to open new campus
SHREWSBURY International School Bangkok announced that it is building a new city-centre primary school campus for 640 pupils aged three to 11 years old on a 15-rai (2.4-hectare) site located between Sukhumvit Road and Rama IX Road. B2,600 million (US$78 million) was invested in the school, and the campus will open in August 2018. The new campus, called “Shrewsbury International School Bangkok - City Campus,’ aims to accommodate the large waiting list of children seeking a place at the primary school at the riverside campus and has begun accepting enrolments for the academic year commencing August 2018. The new campus will compliment Shrewsbury International School Bangkok’s riverside campus on Charoenkrung Road, which was established in 2003 with the support of Britain’s highly respected Shrewsbury School and comprises a primary and secondary school for children aged three to 18 years old. Almost 1,700 pupils are enrolled. It is ranked among the best schools in the region. For more information, contact 02 664 9500 ext 115 or visit city.shrewsbury.ac.th
