A COLLEGE in the county has opened its seventh international campus.
Malvern College Switzerland will offer a bespoke international curriculum for an initial cohort of students due to arrive at the school from September 2021.
Keith Metcalfe, headmaster of Malvern College, UK, said: "This is a very exciting development for the Malvern family of schools, and we look forward very much to welcoming our first pupils to Leysin in a few months’ time.”
Entry will be into either Year 10 or Year 12, with additional options for students looking for a pre-IGCSE course in Year 9 or a University Preparation course in Year 13.
Based in Leysin, in the Swiss Alps, the school will have on-site facilities, including a 200-seat auditorium, as well as making the most of the sporting facilities in and around the local area.
