“Marlborough College Malaysia (MCM) is an excellent college to entrust our children to a global education nested in Southeast Asia. My son, Caleb, has always liked interacting with different nationalities, and now he has made many MCM friends in Asia, Europe and America. I recommend Boarding because it facilitated Caleb’s leadership to work with teams daily, while he learns to keep boundaries to stay true to self. I hear comments about staff as much as schoolmates when we talk, and I am grateful MCM educators love to nurture, challenge and walk with students in all seasons. Seeing how MCM continues to draw talent, raise standards and contributes back to communities in Johor Bahru makes this a college I am happy to represent, and trust many parents will as well."
