Marlborough College Malaysia

Marlborough College Malaysia

It continues the pioneering spirit of its mother School, Marlborough College in Wiltshire, by being a close, values-led and enormously successful and happy community. Marlborough College Malaysia (MCM) was founded in 2012 as an organic extension of Marlborough College England. It is a co‐educational independent boarding and day school comprised of a Senior School and a Preparatory School which cover the age range from four to eighteen. Therefore, shares values, philosophy and personnel with the UK and draws upon the very best traditions of one of the finest British boarding schools, while adding an exciting and real international dimension to our spectacular setting just eight miles from Singapore on the tip of the Iskandar peninsula.

There is something genuinely special about Marlborough College in Malaysia. Those fortunate enough to work here all agree that our greatest joy, attribute, advert and reward are the girls and boys who form the College. They provide daily inspiration, a model of what wider society

could be like genuine optimism for the future.

We live and work in a safe and spacious 90-acre campus in southern Malaysia, reminiscent of the generous grounds and playing fields of Marlborough College in the UK. Guided by our principles of compassion, companionship and conversation, Marlborough College Malaysia gives its boys and girls the space, inspiration and courage to explore their own potential, the wonders of our world and their responsibilities to it and to each other.

With our shared DNA and close links with Marlborough UK, we value and instil breadth of experience, intellectual rigour, creative joy and sporting excellence. Many of our children take the opportunity to develop independence and inter-reliance within the security and care of our

outstanding boarding community.

Our motto is Deus Dat Incrementum – “God gives the increase” – a reminder that we achieve with pride, but humility. At Marlborough College Malaysia our young people learn that theirs is a duty to continue to make the world a better place; we give them the skills to lead that mission and the life-long support and friendship of our worldwide Old Marlburian network.

The College is arranged in a Prep School (3-13) and a Senior School (14-18) and it currently has 755 pupils, around 409 of whom are in the Prep and 140 of whom are in the Sixth Form. Pupils from the age of nine may choose to board and approximately a third of those who are eligible do so, with almost half of the Senior School and most of the Sixth Form boarding.

The Singapore Tatler has referred to the College as “the only school in Asia offering an authentic British boarding programme”. While very British in ethos and with a Common Room largely drawn from some of the UK’s leading schools, the College is also truly international, celebrating diversity and a global outlook with children representing over 45

nationalities. Around half of our pupils are from expatriate families.

While academic achievement lies at the heart of what we do, we believe that all of our children have something to offer and much to gain in addition to intellectual development, so we are driven by a desire to find areas where each of them can learn and grow beyond the classroom. Every week we offer an extensive range of co-curricular activities, which are all part of a rich, broad and balanced programme to develop not just the mind, but also

confidence, empathy, leadership and a sense of altruism.

The College is very well-resourced and enjoys an enviable reputation for its pupils’ achievements on a broad variety of fronts. It is one of the few schools in Asia to achieve membership in HMC, an association of the world’s leading independent schools and it is the Boarding Schools’ Association’s Asian training hub.
