Kuala Lumpur, 26 November 2024 - Epsom College in Malaysia proudly celebrates its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of excellence in British boarding education, world-class sports, and personal growth. Situated on a picturesque 50-acre campus near Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Epsom has emerged as one of the region’s leading educational institutions, providing a transformative education that shapes future global leaders. Over the past decade, the school has welcomed students from more than 30 countries, offering a holistic learning experience supported by state-of-the-art facilities designed to nurture both academic achievement and personal development.

A Decade of Academic Success

Since its inception, Epsom College in Malaysia has become a beacon of British boarding school education in the region, consistently producing outstanding academic results. Graduates have gained admission to top-tier universities around the world, including Cambridge, Stanford, Imperial College, UCL and the London School of Economics. The school’s rigorous academic programme, delivered by a diverse and highly qualified faculty, has propelled its students to excel. In 2024, 100% of Epsom students applying to Russell Group universities received offers, with graduates collectively earning over USD 1 million in scholarships.

“Celebrating our 10th anniversary is a testament to the achievements of our students and the dedication of our faculty,” said Matthew Brown, Headmaster of Epsom College in Malaysia. “We take immense pride in providing an environment where students thrive academically, personally, and socially, equipping them with the skills to succeed not only at the world’s top institutions, but in their future workplace.”

Elite Sports Training: Mastery and Building Champions

In addition to its academic prowess, Epsom College has redefined sports education in Southeast Asia through its partnerships with world renowned academies. These programmes offer students the opportunity to train under elite coaches while developing the discipline and leadership skills that translate beyond the sports arena:

Mouratoglou Tennis Academy: In partnership with Patrick Mouratoglou, coach to tennis legends like Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka, Epsom’s tennis students benefit from expert coaching on ITF-certified courts, including Malaysia’s only covered clay courts. Several students have gone on to compete at national and international levels.

LALIGA Football Academy: Footballers at Epsom receive top-tier training from coaches appointed by Spain’s premier football league, gaining a competitive edge in regional competitions and honing their tactical skills.

ECM Golf Academy: Epsom’s golfers train at cutting-edge facilities, including an on-campus driving range and access to a nearby championship course. The academy has produced champions who have excelled in regional tournaments.

With nearly 150 co-curricular activities each term, Epsom’s holistic approach to education ensures that students are not only academically high achievers, but also well-rounded individuals. The school’s first-class sports facilities, including ITF-compliant tennis courts, a FIFA-approved football field, a 5-acre on-campus golf practice facility and a fully equipped gym, support students’ physical development alongside their intellectual growth and imbue resilience, discipline and teamwork.

Weekday Boarding: The Best of Both Worlds

For families resident in Malaysia, Epsom’s unique Weekday Boarding Programme strikes a balance between structured academic immersion and the comfort of home life. Students benefit from the focused environment of a British boarding school during the week, returning home on weekends to recharge and reconnect with family. This model allows for a healthy balance between academic rigour, co-curricular engagement, and personal well-being.

The College’s pastoral care system, modelled after its UK sister school, ensures that each student receives comprehensive support. Every boarding house is led by a team of dedicated staff, including a housemaster, assistant housemaster, and matrons, providing around-the-clock care and guidance. Additionally, Epsom’s 24-hour security and access control create a safe and nurturing environment where students can focus on their personal and academic growth.
