Malvern College Summer School

The programme follows a project‑based, practical approach where learning comes to life through real‑world challenges. Students choose two modules each week – one in the morning and one in the afternoon – with each module providing 15 hours of teaching per week. All modules are taught by passionate Malvern College teachers and carefully selected specialists who adapt every lesson to match each student's level. The English Language module is Quality English accredited and welcomes all levels from beginner to advanced. English is not compulsory for students attending the Summer School. The two‑module structure allows students either to explore two different subjects each week or to develop the same skill further if they wish. Modules run for three hours each day, split across morning and afternoon sessions with a short break in between.

The all‑inclusive package covers full board accommodation in traditional boarding houses, 30 hours of teaching per week, all meals and snacks, all activities and evening events, Saturday excursions, and airport transfers on official arrival and departure days. A meet and greet service is provided at London Heathrow and Birmingham Airport on official days. Transfers from other airports and for flights outside standard hours can be arranged at additional cost. Support for Unaccompanied Minors is available with additional charges. Parents are also welcome to bring children directly to campus.

Students live in traditional British boarding houses, each with a strong sense of community and care. Accommodation is thoughtfully divided by age and gender for security and belonging. Rooms are comfortable single, twin, or cosy dormitory rooms. Each house has inviting shared common rooms where students relax and build friendships. Experienced Houseparents live alongside students, always available to help and support. Mobile phones are kept safely during lessons and activities and returned each evening, so students can relax and stay in touch with parents from their rooms. In an emergency, parents have direct access to a summer school mobile number, and the team always contacts parents before making any medical decisions on their child's behalf.

Full board is included, with three meals per day served in the stunning newly refurbished dining hall. Meals are freshly prepared by skilled chefs with exciting variety at every meal – hot dishes, fresh salads, and lighter options to satisfy every taste. The chefs thoughtfully cater for allergies, dietary requirements, and cultural preferences. Snacks and drinks are available throughout the day to keep energy and spirits high. Mealtimes are also special moments of friendship, where students gather, share stories, and connect with peers from many different cultures.

The programme offers a rich variety of activities beyond the classroom. Evenings feature team‑building games, Mini Olympics, off‑site excursions to Malvern town, games nights, movie nights, celebration assemblies with discos, and the Final Night Party on the final Saturday. Saturdays are full‑day trips to iconic destinations such as London, Bristol, Birmingham, and theme parks. Sundays are quieter, with free time, choice of activities on campus or in Malvern town. The focus is on building leadership, teamwork, confidence, and global friendships through shared experiences.

On‑site facilities include modern, bright classrooms, outstanding sports facilities, and professional performance spaces. The 250‑acre campus offers stunning historic architecture and beautiful grounds. Off‑site, the Malvern Hills provide the setting for Outdoor Pursuits activities. Great Malvern town centre offers independent shops, art galleries, cafés, and cultural attractions such as Great Malvern Priory and Malvern Museum. The area also has excellent transport links, with direct train connections to London Paddington and Birmingham.
