British Tradition, Global Learning, Universal Success
At Epsom College in Malaysia, our aim is to provide exceptional all-round opportunities - academic, social, sporting and cultural - in a safe and supportive community. We are a school that aims for excellence and values both achievement and endeavour. We challenge pupils to develop their talents and broaden their interests, to become confident in themselves, and to be tolerant and appreciative of others.
Established in 2014, Epsom College Malaysia is the only sister school of Epsom College, the United Kingdom's 'Independent School of the Year' in 2022-2023 and one of the UK's top co-educational boarding schools as voted by The Telegraph and The Times. In 2024, Epsom College Malaysia was awarded double Beacon School status by the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) for 'Student Welfare' and 'Leadership in the School.' It stands out among 450 members globally, being the only school in Malaysia to receive such status and one of only six to receive the double Beacon school honour.
Located on a 50-acre private campus with world-class facilities, just an hour outside of Kuala Lumpur city centre and 15 minutes from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Epsom provides a true British boarding school experience - an on-campus community feel, engagement with academic staff in a pastoral setting and a distraction-free academic environment - to its Day, Weekday and Full-boarding students. Through partnerships with the world-renowned Mouratoglou Academy for tennis and LALIGA for football, the establishment of the ECM Golf Academy and the commencement of the ECM Music Academy in 2024, we are the only international school in Asia offering a curriculum integrating academic excellence together with high-performance sports, music and the arts.
