SCHOOL FACTS
Malvern Preparatory School is an independent, Augustinian school for young men in grades six through twelve. Since 1842, the School’s tradition has been to prepare young men for college, for leadership, and for life. Malvern educates its students in a caring environment focused on academics while maintaining a balance between spirituality, arts, athletics, and activities. Students are learning a foundation of knowledge today so that they may lead with integrity tomorrow. The School is located on a 103-acre campus in Malvern, Pennsylvania, a suburb residential area 20 miles west of Philadelphia. Typically, 100% of graduates attend four-year colleges.
