Revealing the Roots of a Quality Education
Malvern College Tokyo’s new seminars explore the school’s ethos.
Preparing to open this September, Malvern College Tokyo (MCT) will be offering students a unique learning environment that brings together a diverse array of influences.
The school plans to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, complemented with courses that teach entrepreneurship, financial literacy, social-emotional learning and the latest in digital technology. Students will be exposed to sustainability concepts through an innovative Forest School program and experience the best of both British and Japanese culture.
This nurturing and inspiring school will instill its students with the key Malvern Qualities, which will serve them not only during their time at MCT, but as they move on to university and future careers:
- Humility
- Self-awareness
- Independence
- Collaboration
- Risk-taking
- Open-mindedness
- Resilience
- Curiosity
- Ambition
- Kindness
- Integrity
Not only are these qualities central to the Malvern experience, but they are also closely linked to those that the IB system encourages in its students.
MALVERN EXPERIENCES
To put a spotlight on these qualities over the next several months, MCT will be hosting a series called Malvern Experiences. Each event will reveal a different facet of education at the school. For example, when social and emotional learning are discussed, Malvern Experiences presenters will explain how students both young and old will be encouraged to express themselves confidently and share their feelings. An MCT education will put primacy on students discovering what they love and putting their passion into action.
Financial literacy will be explored as a topic that even the youngest children can learn, and one that will pay dividends in lifelong responsible money management habits. Sustainability is another key value at MCT and will be covered in detail through the Forest School program, which encourages a love of nature in young learners while teaching lessons of collaboration and problem solving through a variety of outdoor activities enjoyed at green spaces near the Kodaira campus.
As the series will demonstrate, the skills and values to be taught at MCT will be ones that will inform students not just for the next 10 years, but the next 50, and will help them skillfully navigate future situations that we can hardly imagine in the present day.
The first Malvern Experience will be dedicated to English education and creativity, with a full array of topics to come. To receive more information about these sessions, please sign up here.
