Malvern College Tokyo

Malvern College Tokyo is a British-branded Candidate School for the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) International Baccalaureate Programme in Tokyo and has opened its door in August 2023 as the latest addition to the Malvern College Family of Schools.

Malvern College Tokyo, located in the city of Kodaira, is only a 40-minute commute from the city centre and lies in a highly academic area with more than 50 educational institutions (from elementary school to university level) being found within a 5 km radius of the school. The neighbourhood includes the renowned Hitotsubashi University, one of the top nine designated national universities in Japan, as well as Tsuda University, one of the oldest and most prestigious higher educational institutions for women in Japan.

Founded in 1865, Malvern College is a leading co-educational boarding and day school based in Malvern, Worcestershire, UK. Together with its associated preparatory schools, The Downs Malvern and Abberley Hall, it provides a quality education for both boys and girls aged from 3 to 18 years.

Thanks to its academic rigour and its pursuit of a holistic education, Malvern College has produced renowned alumni including the author CS Lewis, Nobel Prize winners Francis Aston and James Meade, psychologist Edward Titchener, as well as famous personalities including the actor Denholm Elliot and England's current Chief Medical Officer Sir Chris Whitty.

Due to Malvern's strong position at the forefront of educational development and its shared belief of the importance of both academic and extra-curricular education, the College is one of the first UK schools to adopt the International Baccalaureate (IB). Since then, Malvern College has acquired an enviable reputation of being one of the best and most established IB schools in the country and the school comfortably beats the world average in all subject areas. The College's IB graduates regularly average over 36 points (the world average is 29.9).
