Nurturing Global Citizens
Malvern College Tokyo prepares young people for a vibrant future.
Bringing more than 160 years of UK educational history to western Tokyo, Malvern College’s Kodaira campus offers an international learning environment with small classes and strong support.
Part of the Malvern College family, the school focuses on inquiry-based learning, nurturing independence and problem-solving skills while instilling a love of discovery in its students. Incorporating a British approach to teaching, it offers an excellent standard of education, covering not only traditional academic subjects but also entrepreneurship, financial literacy, design, and social and emotional learning, as well as science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) disciplines to give students a well-rounded foundation that prepares them for the road ahead.
As an accredited IB World School, Malvern College Tokyo currently offers the Primary Years Programme and the Middle Years Programme, and is working towards offering the Diploma Programme, providing students a complete pathway from age four to 18.
The school engages in a global exchange program with Malvern College UK as well as shorter exchanges with other Malvern schools, exposing students to new environments and broadening their horizons.
Its approach is supported by outstanding facilities, including science labs, a STEAM and design room for science and engineering, a two-story gymnasium and all-weather pitch for sports and fitness, a library, and expressive and visual arts studios to foster imagination and promote creativity. A cafeteria, the signature Sakura Garden, and both indoor and outdoor play spaces nurture students’ overall wellbeing and engagement. These facilities accommodate a variety of opportunities for students in performing arts, sports, and enrichment activities, allowing them to develop talents and interests beyond the standard curriculum.
Malvern places a strong emphasis on pastoral care, keeping class sizes small and providing dedicated tutor time to ensure each individual is acknowledged and supported. Students’ bonds with each other are nurtured through a traditional British House system, which places students in houses to foster team spirit, enhance belonging, and enrich school life. This extends into the local community, as the parent group, Friends of Malvern, works to strengthen the partnership between families and the school.
For families interested in learning more about what Malvern College Tokyo has to offer, the school operates the 360° Malvern Experience, which includes tours and workshops that allow parents to experience firsthand what it’s like to be a Malvern student. The first step in the program is an information session called Malvern Meet, which will take place on January 28. This will be followed by weekly tours available in both English and Japanese.
