A Welcome from
the Headmaster
Malvern College Summer School is pleased to open its doors to international pupils aged
9-16 for the summer holidays 2022. Our focus is to improve English language skills and allow pupils
a unique opportunity of experiencing a taste of a classic British education, by one of the UK’s leading
independent schools. Our courses are managed, hosted and run by the College, meaning we are able to
deliver the same high standard of education and facilities as what our own pupils receive.
The courses offered by Malvern College Summer School are all based on the same
foundations we implement for our school activities – a strong academic focus, teamed with an enrichment
programme that stimulates intellectual curiosity. Our programmes are developed to encompass
not just classroom learning and workshops, but with regular activities to encourage the
implementation of new-found skills in real-life scenarios.
We look forward very much to welcoming our 2021 pupils to Malvern College next summer.
