This curriculum is the most extensive Forest School programme available in Chengdu and the entire southwestern region of China. Our Forest School education is tailored to children aged between 3 and 6 years old.

Our dedicated academic team has developed a rigorous curriculum that seamlessly integrates East and West, emphasising academic excellence and a well-rounded education.

Under our "Exploring the World" framework, we use interdisciplinary teaching methodologies that foster collaboration and encourage students to connect the dots between different subjects, integrating knowledge from different disciplines to explore a common theme. Our curriculum draws on the best practices from the International Primary Curriculum and the STEAM approach to design interdisciplinary learning activities and assessments that promote innovative and integrated learning. Our students will study a range of subjects including personal growth and health, history and culture, the natural environment, and scientific disciplines. This project nurtures interdisciplinary inquiry-based learning from three perspectives: knowledge and understanding, skills, and attitudes.

SECONDARY SCHOOL

At Malvern College Chengdu, our goal is to cultivate a comprehensive understanding of the world and foster global connections through a bilingual and multi-modal activity-based approach. Drawing upon the Chinese philosophy of international understanding education, our school offers an "International Understanding" (or "Global Perspectives") course that equips students with the ability to explore global projects from local, national, and global perspectives.

In lower secondary (Grades 7 to 9), we provide an integrated and bilingual curriculum that combines the best practices of Chinese and international pedagogy, including inquiry-based and student-centred learning. Our holistic approach, centred on the Malvern Qualities and Malvern DNA, emphasizes the development of the whole child, and includes specialized courses in areas such as Entrepreneurship and Global Perspectives.

Our Secondary International Centre is designed for senior high school students pursuing post-compulsory education (Grades 10-13). The centre offers a comprehensive range of Cambridge and Edexcel IGCSE and IAL (International A-level) courses, which are widely recognized and respected globally.
