Scheduling a Shadow Day at Malvern Prep

Our Shadow Day Visit Program invites prospective students to step into the shoes of a Malvern Prep Friar for a day.

Applicants in all grades are warmly encouraged to join a student host, who will guide them through campus life—accompanying them to classes, sharing lunch in the dining hall, and introducing them to faculty and student leaders. Visitors will also spend time with members of the Admissions Team, giving us the chance to connect personally beyond what appears in their application.

To schedule your visit, contact Diane Dougherty, Assistant Director of Admissions, at ddougherty@malvernprep.org.

We are thrilled at the opportunity to welcome your son to campus as our guest!
