Our Ethos

We believe that education is about enrichment, not only of the individual but of the communities within which those individuals live and therefore of society in general. Malvern College Egypt aims to provide an education of the highest possible standard for each of its pupils in all key areas of development. The most important of these are the academic, cultural, moral and co-curricular. We have high expectations of our students in terms of their effort, achievements and behaviour and we aim to provide them with the means by which they can develop to the best of their abilities their knowledge, skills and personality. By so doing we seek to develop confident, well-rounded individuals who can be successful in their own lives and of service to others.

Academic Achievement

We want our students to gain the best results of which they are capable.

We seek to achieve this through:

Exceptional teaching and a world-class curriculum.
Outstanding facilities and plentiful resources
Fostering in each student a love of learning, curiosity, and a passion for exploring ideas and the world around them.
Promoting active student engagement in lessons, with a strong emphasis on understanding, inquiry, and critical thinking.

Character Development

We want each student to develop a sense of self-worth, knowing the difference between right and wrong and doing the right thing when it comes to making choices. We want them to respect the differences in others and in turn be respected by those around them, by showing politeness, kindness and concern for others. These values should permeate every aspect of the school focusing especially on:

Mutual respect between teachers and pupils
Fair and consistent implementation of discipline

Cultural Achievement

We want to nurture each pupil’s creative talents through participation in:

Art
Drama
Music
Dance
Visits to galleries, museums, shows, talks etc.

Co-Curricular Activity

We expect all pupils to develop their bodies as well as their minds and characters. This is to be done through:

Physical education
Games
Clubs
Outward bound activities

At the heart of it

It is the quality of the people and the human relationships between them that make Malvern special. Whether it is the way in which a department works, a class works or teachers and tutors work with individual pupils, our view of education is based on mutual respect, trust, pastoral care and a positive outlook.

We aim to focus pupils’ attention on developing the following “Malvern Qualities”:
