2025 Residential Experiences
Welcome
It is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to your children to stay and learn with us here in the UK through a range of residential experiences, all of which are designed to provide a taste of life at Malvern College for pupils studying at our other schools around the world.
Each experience offers a unique opportunity for pupils to take part in a short term residential placement here in the UK, where they will benefit from an immersive educational and personal development experience.
We hope that pupils will create lasting memories, acquire valuable skills and expand their knowledge, all of which will greatly benefit their future studies and equip them for life beyond Malvern.
I trust that the information in this brochure will inspire you to consider these opportunities and we look forward very much to welcoming pupils from across the Malvern College Family of Schools to join us here at Malvern College, UK.

A home away from home
For over 150 years, Malvern has been recognised as a school that embodies a classic liberal British education. We are proud of our rich heritage of educational excellence, and the echoes of Malvernians past and present can be felt throughout our historic campus, making Malvern a dynamic school where every pupil has the opportunity to thrive.
But above all, Malvern is a home. A safe place where potential is uncovered, where ambitions are discovered, and childhood is enjoyed. Where pupils are encouraged, supported and nurtured. They have every opportunity to achieve - not just academicallyso that they can transform their future and the lives of those around them.
