A Family Legacy
As the boys were growing, they knew the environment of their surroundings was going to have as much of an impact as their parenting style. It was important to them to find a school that was much more than a place for education, it had to be a place that fostered confidence, respect, excellence and faith.
After attending an Open House at Malvern Prep in 2019 they knew they found the perfect environment to fulfill their wishes. Malvern Prep has been much more than that, it has been an environment that has allowed their children to grow as individuals, strive for excellence and master respect and love for themselves and others.
Will came to Malvern Prep in 9 grade. During his time at Malvern Prep, he found his passion for international travel and foreign language. Having traveled to Spain and Australia though Global Programming as well as Brazil and Peru through Christian Service, Will completed an independent study under the guidance of Profé Teresa Lohse (photo) to mentor younger Malvern students for which he received advanced credentials for Augustinian Leadership at graduation.
Drew came to Malvern Prep last year in 6 grade excited to join his older brother for one year and be part of the brotherhood. He quickly made friends and is working hard on his studies while participating in band and year-round sports
Heather and Neel have decided to include Malvern Prep in their long-term planning because they want to ensure that future generations have access to a Malvern Prep education, while fostering their faith within the Augustinian core values of Veritas, Unitas, and Caritas.
Thank You Neel, Heather, Will ’25 and Drew ’31 for keeping Malvern Prep in your hearts forever!
