An Historic Partnership. An Extraordinary Future.

Malvern College, one of the UK’s most prestigious independent schools, has entered a landmark partnership with KEIP, a leading Saudi education investment platform, to establish Malvern College Riyadh as its first campus in Saudi Arabia by 2027.

This historic collaboration, announced at the Great Futures Event in London – a showcase of UK-Saudi partnership success – represents more than the opening of a new school. It’s the beginning of sharing our core values of curiosity, kindness, independence, resilience, integrity and ambition with pupils from across the Kingdom.
