The campus ' s picturesque location , at the east end of Lake Geneva , will offer year-round mountain sports and recreational facilities together with the exceptional education for which the Malvern family of schools is renowned throughout the world .
Additionally , Malvern College UK will open a new dedicated boarding house in the coming academic year , “ Malvern College International Academy ”, for Malvern pupils around the world . The new academy will provide Malvern students from any of the other campuses the opportunity for a short-term , fully immersed , boarding experience for up to one term in length .
According to Ms Jacqueline So , " These two new additions to the Malvern Family are a further realisation of our concept of a global campus . They allow us to significantly broaden the positive experiences gained from multi-cultural , shared learning , for both our pupils and our staff . This multi-cultural capability with an international outlook , is critical in supporting our pupils to become responsible leaders , able to cope with the constantly evolving environment of their future ."
