Malvern Preparatory School is an Augustinian, Catholic, and Independent school for boys in grades 6-12. The culture of Malvern Prep is defined by the Augustinian values of Truth, Unity, and Love. Academics are student-centered and grounded in pedagogical research. Faculty work with students to look inward, challenging them to find their truths, and inspiring them to use their education for the common good.
Empowered by a loving community, students achieve at the highest levels individually and collectively - in academics, athletics, arts, and service - as they become men who lead with humility and heart.
