benefits of a catholic education

As a parent, deciding where to send your child for their education is one of the most vital and difficult choices you will make. Each school has its own different set of philosophies, values, and benefits. At Malvern Prep, we follow in the footsteps of St. Augustine, Doctor of the Church, and instill and live by our three core Augustinian values of Truth, Unity, and Love. Truth through academic excellence and growth prepares each student for a life of integrity and courageous leadership. Unity in a diverse community instills a personal responsibility for the common good in faculty, parents, and students. The love between each individual invites growth and distinguished respect, challenge, and service. 
When considering a Catholic education, it is crucial to understand all the values that set it apart from public school education. These are not just flashy buzzwords but our core values entrenched in everything we do and serve as an overarching reminder of how our students and faculty should live both in and outside of school.

High school theater participation

At Malvern, students have the opportunity to create, perform, and grow through our art programs. Our Theatre program is much more than a high school elective. The Malvern Theatre Society offers one of the most robust programs in the region. Numerous studies have shown the correlation between drama involvement and academic success. In addition to receiving higher standardized test scores than their peers who do not participate in theatre, students who do experience the arts often enjoy improved reading comprehension, maintain better attendance records, and stay more engaged in school than their non-theatre counterparts. Many school administrators agree, with over 95% believing that theatre programs strengthen students’ critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and leadership skills. Below we share several reasons why students from all backgrounds and interests should consider participating in high school theatre.
