    Marlborough College MalaysiaThere is something genuinely special about Marlborough College in Malaysia. Those fortunate enough to work here all agree that our greatest joy, attribute, advert and reward are the girls and boys who form the College. They provide daily inspiration, a model of what wider society could be like and genuine optimism for the future.We live and work in a safe and spacious 90 acre campus in southern Malaysia, reminiscent of the generous grounds and playing fields of Marlborough College in the UK enhanced by our own organic farm and boating lake. Guided by our principles of compassion, companionship and conversation, Marlborough College Malaysia gives its boys and girls the space, inspiration and courage to explore their own potential, the wonders of our world and their responsibilities to it and to each other.With our close links with Marlborough UK, we value and instil breadth of experience, intellectual rigour, creative joy and sporting excellence. Many of our children take the opportunity to develop independence and inter-reliance within the security and care of our outstanding boarding community.Our motto is Deus Dat Incrementum – “God gives the increase” – a reminder that we achieve with pride, but humility. At Marlborough College Malaysia our young people learn that theirs is a duty to continue to make the world a better place; we give them the skills to lead that mission and the life-long support and friendship of our world-wide Old Marlburian network.The College is arranged in a Prep School (3-13) and a Senior School (14-18) and currently has 830 pupils, around 470 are in the Prep and 140 are in the Sixth Form. Pupils from the age of nine may choose to board and approximately a third of those who are eligible, do so, with almost half of the Senior School and most of the Sixth Form boarding. The Singapore Tatler has referred to the College as “the only school in Asia offering an authentic British boarding programme”.While very British in ethos and with a Common Room largely drawn from some of the UK’s leading schools, the College is also truly international, celebrating diversity and a global outlook with children representing over 45 nationalities. Around half of our pupils are from expatriate families.While academic achievement lies at the heart of what we do, we believe that all of our children have something to offer and much to gain in addition to intellectual development, so we are driven by a desire to find areas where each of them can learn and grow beyond the classroom. Every week we offer an extensive range of co-curricular activities, which are all part of a rich, broad and balanced programme to develop not just the mind, but also confidence, empathy, leadership and a sense of altruism.The College is very well-resourced and enjoys an enviable reputation for its pupils’ achievements on a broad variety of fronts. It is one of the few schools in Asia to achieve membership of HMC, an association of the world’s leading independent schools, to have the Council of British International Schools’ coveted “Beacon” status and to have won international plaudits for innovation and excellence from the UK’s Boarding Schools’ Association. It was listed by the Spears Index among the world’s 125 leading independent schools in 2023, for the third consecutive year.Further details about the College may be found on its website at www.marlboroughcollege.myMarlborough College Malaysia is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants must be prepared to undergo stringent child protection screening including checks with past employers and an enhanced DBS or equivalent is required.

    Management has no consistency
    The good thingsThe benefits are excellent. Free lunches, health and life insurance and many more. Good environment with the colleagues.
    The challengesThe Senior Management Team has no consistency at all. The academic staff might reap the benefits however the support staff always get affected as a result of their inconsistency. Too many changes and always go back and forth.The bursar says one thing and the master would say the opposite. The bureaucracy is ridiculous. Micromanagement by the bursar affecting the staff so much. Almost feels like there's no trust to our work. When too much changes staff productivity is affected. Always change and the timeline will also be affected.
