Malvern College set to establish campus in Saudi Arabia

The new school will be the latest addition to the school’s campuses, which already include China, Japan, and Egypt, and the uK.

It will be developed in partnership with KSA Education Investment Partners (KEIP) as a part of a wider plan to establish a network of Malvern-branded schools and nurseries across the Kingdom and the region.

The partnership was formalised at the Great Futures event in London which highlighted the achievements of the UK-Saudi collaboration, as 38 new partnerships and agreements worth $5.3 billion were established, with a plan to increase the number to $40 billion by 2023.

With the school ranked among the top 50 International Baccalaureate schools worldwide, the collaboration is designed to deliver its established educational offering while integrating local identity and culture.

We are proud to be partnering with KEIP to introduce the Malvern College experience to Riyadh. This collaboration is about more than opening a new school. It is about sharing our core values of curiosity, kindness, independence, resilience, integrity and ambition across a global community.

“We are proud to be partnering with KEIP to introduce the Malvern College experience to Riyadh. This collaboration is about more than opening a new school. It is about sharing our core values of curiosity, kindness, independence, resilience, integrity and ambition across a global community,” said Keith Metcalfe, headmaster at Malvern College.

“Drawing on 160 years of education innovation and proven success internationally, our dedicated team will work alongside highly experienced local partners to ensure this school provides the Malvern standard of education in a way that respects local culture. I look forward to welcoming Riyadh pupils into the Malvern family of schools and continuing our mission to prepare young people to thrive in an inter-connected world and grow into thoughtful and confident role models of the future,” he added.

For KEIP, the partnership underscores its ambition to expand access to exceptional early and K-12 education in Saudi Arabia, which aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2023 strategy by helping to raise future Saudi leaders prepared to compete globally while promoting their identity, values, and the Arabic language.

“We are delighted to partner with Malvern College to bring one of the world’s most respected schools to Riyadh,” said Naif Alrasheed, chairman of KEIP.

“KEIP was founded to transform education and to meet the pace of change in Saudi and beyond. By combining Malvern’s world class academic heritage with our ambition, we will prepare the next generation of Saudis to thrive as leaders in an increasingly interconnected digitally driven world.”
