K12 education cultivating international talent

Malvern College Chengdu provides a comprehensive K-12 education, beginning with a bilingual Pre-Prep program that focuses on developing basic conversational skills in both languages. Following the British Curriculum, students are fostered in seven key areas and encouraged to explore independent learning through Forest School, and Reggio Emilia teaching methods.

In Prep School, students are encouraged to use Chinese while also building a strong foundation in English. The innovative integrated exploration course, tailored for the southwest region, combines elements of IPC, Singapore and Hong Hong curriculum, encouraging students to critically explore different subjects and integrate their knowledge to develop problem-solving skills.

The holistic approach to teaching also encompasses physical education, music, art, extracurricular activities, and the Duke of Edinburgh Award, developing each student's leadership, social skills, and personal interests.
