Welcome to Malvern Prep’s Learning Demonstration Day

Thank you for joining us as we celebrate learning in all of its shapes and forms - from robotics to theology. This ’open campus’ afternoon allows you to choose what you’d like to see while highlighting our Augustinian values and experiencing a deep sense of community. Our students are on hand today to demonstrate and celebrate their thinking, learning, and doing. Touring Malvern Prep’s campus will provide you with a window into the many outstanding learning experiences that happen in our school every day. We look forward to this experience for our students, families, and faculty/staff.
