Epsom offers a unique opportunity for students seeking a British boarding school education with a global perspective, all within the familiar and vibrant setting of Malaysia.
As the only sister school of Epsom College in Surrey, the UK's 'Independent School of the Year 2022', Epsom combines nearly 200 years of heritage from Epsom College UK, with over 90% of UK-trained expatriate teachers on-site, ensuring holistic excellence and an authentic British boarding experience with 70% of our pupils being boarders progressing towards IGCSE and A-Level in Malaysia.
The Epsom Advantage
Epsom has a proven track record of supporting successful applications to top universities globally including Oxbridge in the UK and Ivy League colleges in the US. Reflecting the ethos of Epsom College UK, Epsom educates their students to be principled, moral,bright and conscientious citizens of the world and focus on a student’s holistic development, beyond pure academic grades or exam success. In Sixth Form, the experienced teaching faculty work in tandem with Higher Education counsellors (with over 25 years of experience), to build problem-solving, interpersonal and communication skills to best prepare students to be globally competitive in the advancement of their studies and their future careers.
Given the size of Epsom’s Sixth Form cohort, students benefit from a bespoke, personalised university support programme and an open-door policy for after school application support (including evenings and weekends). A dedicated and experienced resident Elite University Tutor will organise seminars with top university graduates and lecturers in chosen subject fields to provide students with a more in-depth look into what to expect from full specialisation in a chosen degree path.
For students with aspirations to apply to Oxbridge, Epsom will match students with Oxbridge alumni mentors who will provide an insider’s perspective on the application process and 1-to-1 sessions for interview preparation.
An established vibrant and active Super Curricular programme (eg. debating and public speaking, essay competitions, student-led academic societies such as the Politics Society, the Humanities Society, the STEM society, the Medical Review, Elite University CCA and symposia) will help students to demonstrate passion and commitment to university admissions. A wide range of student leadership opportunities - for Super Curricular initiatives, Academic Societies and charitable events - will develop interpersonal and leadership skills. Epsom provides access to internships thanks to established connections and collaboration with Air Asia and ECM Libra Foundation, providing students with opportunities to upskill (eg. Big Pay and Red Beat Upskilling Academy, co-powered by Air Asia and Google). Participation in competitions and guided use of materials as part of the Super Curricular programme allows students to cultivate an awareness of the ‘big picture’, making links across their subjects and providing opportunities for real-life application eg. Commonwealth Youth Dialogue Conference, Model United Nation and FOBISIA Race4Good.
The Epsom Advantage blends experience and academic excellence, support and mentorship and a stellar Super Curricular programme to help students get into the top global universities of their choice.
A Winning Combination of Sport & Academics
Epsom College in Malaysia is quickly establishing itself as a sporting centre par excellence. The school recognises the importance of sports as a powerful tool that instils values such as the merit of hard work, teamwork, risk-taking, sportsmanship and leadership. Epsom pupils are spoilt for choice when it comes to sporting endeavours on its 80-acre campus with state-of-the-art facilities that include a multipurpose indoor sports centre (with 3 professional squash courts), a FIFA-standard 4G Astroturf Football Pitch, a newly-built tennis complex, an indoor and outdoor hockey pitch, rugby pitch, cricket pitch and swimming pool. With university applications abroad becoming increasingly competitive year after year, an athletic ability can be a differentiating factor in a pupil’s profile against a broad pool of applicants - Epsom provides an ecosystem for a holistic education that involves playing sport at a high-performance level.
Epsom launched the Mouratoglou Tennis Programme in 2022 in partnership with Patrick Mouratoglou, founder of the Mouratoglou Academy and one of the most influential coaches in tennis.
