Malvern Preparatory School is proud to announce its official enrollment and certification in the Laudato Si’ Action Platform, a global initiative of the Vatican Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. This milestone marks a significant step in our ongoing commitment to ecological conversion, integral ecology, and the care for our common home.
Inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home, Malvern Prep embraces the call to action to protect God’s creation and to promote justice for the most vulnerable among us. Our certification aligns us with thousands of Catholic institutions, communities, and families around the world who are responding with urgency and hope to the “cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor.”
As we mark the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si’, we are encouraged by the recent words of Pope Leo XIV, who reaffirmed the Church’s unwavering commitment to integral ecology and praised the growing global movement for environmental justice inspired by this landmark encyclical.
As a school rooted in the Augustinian values of Truth, Unity, and Love, we are integrating the seven goals of the Laudato Si’ Action Platform into all areas of school life - from curriculum and campus sustainability to spiritual formation and community engagement.
These goals include:
- Response to the Cry of the Earth
- Response to the Cry of the Poor
- Ecological Economics
- Adoption of Sustainable Lifestyles
- Ecological Education
- Ecological Spirituality
- Community Resilience and Participatory Action
Already, Malvern has made great strides through initiatives like the Rosengarten Ranch and Greenhouse, energy-saving efforts across campus, and curricular integration of ecological ethics and sustainability. This certification affirms our commitment to ongoing reflection, bold action, and collaborative change over the next several years and beyond.
“Living our vocation to be protectors of God’s handiwork is essential to a life of virtue; it is not an optional or a secondary aspect of our Christian experience,” writes Pope Francis (Laudato Si’, §217). At Malvern Prep, we answer that call with joy, responsibility, and faithful stewardship.
We invite our entire school community—students, families, alumni, faculty, and friends—to join us in this transformative journey of ecological conversion and integral human development.
