Epsom College in Malaysia (Epsom) is a very special place in which to live and learn - we nurture a positive and ambitious ethos within a close-knit, supportive community. Students at Epsom combine their love for learning and the pursuit of academic excellence with a wide array of extracurricular opportunities. This unique path shapes them into confident, character-rich young adults, prepared to embrace their roles in the world and make a significant difference.

At Epsom, learning is extended beyond the classroom. Designed as the only integrated sport and academic curriculum in Asia for a holistic education, the sports academies at Epsom provide students with the opportunity to live, learn and train in a holistic learning ecosystem that seamlessly integrates academic rigour with world-class sports and music.

The Mouratoglou Tennis Programme’s (“MTP”) Tennis and School offering was launched in 2022 in collaboration with Patrick Mouratoglou, the coach responsible for leading Serena Williams to 10 out of 23 of her singles majors wins. The MTP has nurtured well-rounded student-athletes who are amongst the top ranked junior players in Malaysia including No. 1 Girls U10 Doubles, No. 2 Girls U10 Singles and No. 3 Girls U12 Doubles to name a few. The Programme is led by Kostas Foteinopoulos - a certified CGPTA coach with a unique medical background - and provides a comprehensive coaching philosophy that addresses students’ physical and mental aspects of the game.

The ECM Golf Academy was launched in June 2023 and has seen students achieve success in tournaments like the Rising Stars Junior Golf Tournament by the Association of International Malaysian Schools (AIMS) Sports KL. The Academy is led by Head Coach Travis van Dijk, the multi-award winning PGA Professional with over 17 years of experience developing elite junior players.

Epsom’s latest addition - the LaLiga Academy Malaysia in partnership with the top professional football division of the Spanish football league system - enables student-athletes to train under the world-renowned LaLiga methodology. It is led by Diego Ramos, the Technical Director and Head Coach of the LaLiga Academy Malaysia who has a RFEF Professional Coaching and UEFA Pro licence. Since 2018, he has been a key contributor to the LaLiga International Projects Department, playing a pivotal role in advancing global initiatives.

Epsom will soon be introducing the Allegro Music Academy to young and talented musical individuals as a way for them to pursue a robust education that incorporates both academia and music.

Nurturing Students with Great Character Values Through Boarding & Extracurriculars

Living on campus, our students become a part of a close-knit community - where they not only acquire essential life skills such as independence, and responsibility, but also leadership, teamwork and empathy - which are qualities that will make them successful individuals and compassionate members of society.

The Super Curricular Programme offers a plethora of leadership and student-led initiatives such as the Medical Review Society, the Epsom Monthly Magazine and the Sports Society, where students develop their passions and interests alongside like-minded peers.

Epsom students are able to gain first-hand insights into various subject fields through active engagement with C-suite executives and industry leaders through the Epsom Live Talk series. Honourable guests include Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad - the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, David Dufrenois - the Head of Global Management of Airbus in Southeast Asia, Vanu Gopala Menon - the High Commissioner of Singapore in Malaysia and Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz - the former Minister of International Trade & Industry of Malaysia, to name a few.

Epsom Educators: Shaping Tomorrow’s Leaders

At Epsom, each student receives a clearly defined roadmap that outlines different objectives they must meet in the lead up to a successful application to a top-tier university. Starting as early as Year 7 - with the help of dedicated educators, 90% of whom are expats and UK-trained professionals - students benefit from The Epsom Advantage, a bespoke university support programme.

Kate Carden-Brown, the Director of Admissions and Head of Higher Education, is a strong advocate of building students’ confidence and ability to engage with challenges beyond the classroom. She established the Super Curricular Programme to support Epsom students in building strong student profiles for top university admissions. With more than 25 years of global university application expertise, Kate led a leading state school for Oxbridge success in Wales before joining Epsom. Now, she heads our university guidance team, offering tailored support, interview prep, and personal statements as part of their individual roadmaps for successful entry to students’ dream universities.

Epsom students enjoy the guidance of our experienced educators not only within the confines of the classroom, but also through tutoring sessions after school. The Oxbridge Alumni Mentorship Programme and on-site Elite University Tutors help students to convey their skills, motivations and future aspirations into successful university applications. These initiatives have been the driving force behind Epsom’s track record of student enrollments into top global universities, including the University of Cambridge for four consecutive years.

Mental Wellbeing and Positive Education

Sir Anthony Seldon

In line with our commitment to holistic education, Epsom places significant importance on the wellbeing and mental health of our students. As the only sister school to Epsom College in the UK, we closely follow the school’s commitment to mental wellbeing and positive education led by its Head, Sir Anthony Seldon.

We were honoured to host Sir Anthony, one of Britain's leading contemporary historians, educationalists, commentators and political authors, to learn about his visionary approach to education, and ways in which we are able to adopt strategies to help students navigate the challenges of modern life, as he did during his tenure as the transformative Head for 20 years of Brighton College and Wellington College.
