The construction for Shrewsbury School's project in Guangzhou's Nansha district started on July 13, aiming to become a demonstration for high-level international education and to promote education development in the district.

Founded in 1552 in the United Kingdom, Shrewsbury School is one of the most outstanding independent schools in the UK with a world-class reputation for all-round excellence. It was also the alma mater of British naturalist Charles Darwin.

Currently, Shrewsbury School has only set up three branches in China, namely in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou.
