Malvern College Pre-School Hong Kong (MCPS) excels in integrating English and Mandarin. Virginia Liao, Principal (Chinese) at MCPS, emphasises the significance of this balanced approach: “Malvern College Pre-School Hong Kong provides equal exposure to both English and Chinese, enhancing pupils’ linguistic abilities and deepening their appreciation for Chinese heritage. This balanced approach complements our British-based curriculum and supports cognitive development, problem-solving skills, and creativity.”

For a small place, Hong Kong has a huge coastline – well over 400km, in fact! And almost a quarter of the territory is forested. So it makes perfect sense for a school to extend its educational offerings to embrace nature. That’s just what Malvern College Hong Kong (MCHK) does with its Forest-Beach School. We ask four members of the Malvern Pre-School team about providing an outdoor education and the benefits of pre-school activities to connect with nature.”

Teachers at Malvern Colleges – a family of education institutions with a long history spanning centuries and continents – have always sought to engage strongly wit their pupils (or ‘Malvernians’, as they known), from the moment those pupils step tentatively onto school grounds.

In August 2019, Malvern College Pre-School Hong Kong (MCPS) welcomed its first cohort of little learners into its Island West campus. Those super-cute preschoolers may have been full of nerves, but the team was cool, calm and collected.

The idea of conducting classes in the great outdoors rather than the classroom might sound counterintuitive. In fact, it’s a wonderful learning environment for kids. Anyone who is truly connected to Hong Kong knows that our city is one of contrasts. The fragrant harbour’s high density living quite rapidly surrenders to breathtaking natural experiences. For pupils receiving a world-leading education at Malvern College Pre-School or Malvern College Hong Kong, this contrast is presented in bi-weekly excursions, as part of its pioneering Forest-Beach School programmes.

It’s been a tough start of the year for Hong Kong parents knowing that on-site learning has been postponed once again.

STEM has been having a bit of a “moment” in education these past few years. Thanks to the STEM revival, schools are now hotbeds of innovation. There are Maker Labs for teens, robotics classes for primary schoolers, and everything in between. Today, we’re seeing preschools offer STEM programmes to the littlest of students. Science for three-year-olds may seem like overkill at first, but it quickly gathers context when we stop to think. Science is all about understanding our world, and about being an inquisitive and imaginative explorer. And really, isn’t that what preschool is all about?
