Abbey College in Malvern, Worcestershire, England, is a small boarding school providing education mainly for students from countries outside the United Kingdom. The present college was founded in 1979 by MA Kaveh on a site that had been used for education since 1874.[2][3]

It is located on a 70 acres (28 ha) campus on the flanks of the Malvern Hills between Great Malvern and Malvern Wells.[4] The school is co-educational with around 100 students on its roll and specialises in pre-university education providing courses at GCSE, IGCSE, GCE AS Level, A-level, Foundation Level and English as a second or foreign language (ESOL).

In January 2014, Abbey College was fined £24,000 after pleading guilty to not reviewing existing fire risk assessments. Judge Michael Cullum told Hekmat Kaveh, who was running Abbey College,[5] "the risk assessments were 'woefully inadequate' and added: 'The consequences of a fire would have been disastrous.'"[6][7] Hekmat Kaveh responded that “the college now meets all regulatory requirements”.[6]

In October 2014, Colin Spicer was installed as the college's new principal.[8][9]
