Foundations of Excellence: Shrewsbury Phnom Penh’s New Campus Takes Shape
PHNOM PENH, February 27, 2026 — Significant progress has been reported at the site of the future Shrewsbury International School Phnom Penh campus. This week, Head of School Mr. Barry Sutherland conducted a site inspection to witness the “emerging structure” firsthand, noting that the project is moving swiftly toward its next major milestone.
Built for “Whole-Person” Education
Shrewsbury’s philosophy centers on the idea that the environment is the “third teacher.” Every architectural choice in this new facility is designed to support their signature British Curriculum and “Whole-Person” approach:
- State-of-the-Art Academic Wings: Designed for focused, UK-qualified instruction in STEM, humanities, and languages.
- Specialized Facilities: Beyond standard classrooms, the pillars and beams currently being set will soon support world-class spaces for music, drama, and elite-level sports.
- Collaborative Spaces: Open designs intended to foster the “Together We Flourish” spirit, encouraging social interaction and peer-to-peer learning.
A New Landmark for Sen Sok
From our perspective at Schools Cambodia, the development of this world-class campus marks a shift in the educational landscape of the Sen Sok district. As the structure rises, it promises to provide:
- A British Legacy: Bringing the prestigious traditions of Shrewsbury UK to a modern, purpose-built environment in Cambodia.
- Holistic Development: Facilities that ensure children aren’t just “exam-ready,” but “life-ready,” with ample space for physical and creative growth.
- Community Hub: A landmark institution that elevates the standard of international schooling available to families in the northern corridor of the capital.
As the beams and pillars are locked into place, the vision of a “World-Class” education in Phnom Penh becomes more tangible every day.
