The Malvern Prep Global Student Exchange Initiative!
Over the course of the last four years , Malvern Prep has established partnerships with schools in Europe, Latin America and Australia. So far, we have completed 21 exchanges in this period, 11 exchanges on Malvern's campus and 10 exchanges abroad. A total of 73 students have participated, 37 of which were Malvern students. 35 Malvern parents have hosted a foreign student, some of them multiple times. These three partner schools not only share the same Augustinian values, but also the vision of promoting global learning - Colegio San Agustin of Panama , Real Colegio Alfonso XII in Spain and St. Augustine’s College in Sydney, Australia.
