In Malaysia, there are about 100 private international schools offering the British curriculum. While all these schools have their merits, parents seeking a unique educational experience to set their child apart from mainstream day schools often consider boarding schools.

Boarding offers an immersive learning environment and holistic development. Living on campus fosters a sense of community and independence, enabling students to develop crucial life skills like time management and responsibility. Easy access to teachers, resources, and a diverse student body provides a well-rounded education that prepares students for future success. Structured routines, extra development activities, and strong relationships formed in a boarding school contribute to a transformative educational journey, with 24/7 support ensuring students' well-being and safety.

Epsom College in Malaysia (Epsom) stands as an excellent choice for parents seeking the best of British boarding school education with exceptional pastoral care.
