Members of Malvern's community were encouraged to share positive thoughts, encouragement, and remote learning photos as we adapt to a new way of teaching and learning during this difficult time. All of the videos and images were compiled together in a video. Thank you to all who shared with us!

As I watched the Super Bowl a few days ago, I was surprised to see that a life insurance company ran a commercial on the four ancient Greek words for love: philia, storge, eros, and agape (pronounced ah-GAH-pay). In the Gospels that were written in Greek, when Jesus refers to love, the word the Gospel writer used was agape. Love God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength, love your neighbor as yourself, love one another as I have loved you, and in many other cases, it was agape, agape, agape.

Malvern Prep's third J-Term experience ran from Monday, January 6 through Friday, January 10, 2020. J-Term is an opportunity for our teachers, administrators, and students to host a five-day elective course tailored to a personal interest that could serve the students in learning something outside of the regular curriculum.
