Malvern's teaching philosophy is rooted in Augustinian Pedagogy and more than 1600 years old. We believe in community and collaboration vs. cramming and compliance. As a result, faculty construct learning experiences in a manner that values questions over answers, community over the individual, and projects that impact the common good. Faculty are adept at learning and leveraging student strengths and ensuring that most of the curriculum walks into the classroom day to day vs. predetermined pacing guides. Student-centered--which has been trendy of late--has been part of who we are and how we do things since St. Augustine insisted his son call him an 'intellectual friend'. Knowing yourself, knowing others, and knowing the world is the bedrock of an Augustinian education.
