Students must take a Malvern Prep Entrance Exam if they are applying for 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th grade. Exam dates are listed on our Experience Malvern page. Register for your exam today.

If your son has an IEP, a 504 plan, or educational testing for an educational accommodation, for example, extended time on a test, please provide a copy of the report to the Admissions Office at least two weeks before the scheduled exam.

After submitting the online application, you will receive a confirmation email with information on how to schedule a Shadow Day Visit for your son. We highly recommend you take advantage of this opportunity. On a Shadow Day Visit, we will pair your son with a current student so he can see what a day is like at Malvern Prep. At the conclusion of your son’s Shadow Visit, he will meet with an admissions representative.

You may contact us to ensure all parts of your son’s application have been received. You may also stay up-to-date on how complete your son’s application is through the creation of your online application account.
