Epsom College: The best of a British education, right at your doorstep

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 one-to-one sessions for interview preparation.

An established vibrant and active Super Curricular programme (eg. debating and public speaking, essay competitions, and 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 e.g. 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 e.g. Commonwealth Youth Dialogue Conference, Model United Nations and FOBISIA Race4Good. Students benefit from the experience-based insights from the Epsom Live Talks series, whose past attendees include David Dufrenois of Airbus, Tan Sri Tommy Thomas (former Attorney General of Malaysia), Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz (former Minister of International Trade and Industry) and Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, founder of Capital A (formerly known as AirAsia). Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, former Prime Minister of Malaysia, will soon be in attendance.

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 50-acre campus with state-of-the-art facilities that include a multipurpose indoor sports centre (with three 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—therefore Epsom provides an ecosystem for a holistic education that involves playing sports 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. As Serena Williams’s full-time tennis coach, Patrick Mouratoglou has been credited with the training and development of several young rising stars including Stefanos Tsitsipas, Coco Gauff, Holger Rune and Alexei Popyrin. The programme is a seamless blend of academics and tennis and is one of Epsom’s many sports initiatives.

Participants enjoy a newly built tennis complex with ITF (International Tennis Federation)-compliant outdoor and indoor courts, including clay courts which are a rare find in Asia. 

Epsom will soon be launching the ECM Golf Academy which will focus on providing their students with the tools and resources required to realise their full golfing potential, alongside peak physical and mental performance. The appointed head coach, Travis Van Dijk, an international PGA Player of the Year winner, has over 17 years of experience developing elite junior players. Facilities at the ECM Golf Academy will include a 5-acre on-site training facility with a driving range and indoor/outdoor teaching studios, as well as access to an 18-hole golf course 2-3 times weekly. For keen footballers, Epsom will have a football academy in partnership with La Liga—the top professional football division of the Spanish football league system in which teams such as Real Madrid and FC Barcelona compete. La Liga coaches reside on-site to ensure in-campus training and skills on the FIFA-approved 4G Astroturf football pitch and are continuously available outside of school hours.

All of these sports academies will operate on Epsom’s expansive 50-acre campus and further enhance the collegiate living-learning experience and community feel. Not to be missed, students enrolling in or transitioning into Years 6 and 7 will be given the opportunity to take part and cultivate a stronger appreciation of the football, tennis and golf academies from September 2023 onwards, at no additional cost.

The Epsom Experience

Epsom offers interested families The Epsom Experience, a free boarding taster programme which gives prospective students a glimpse into life at Epsom. Curated by the academic teaching staff and pastoral care team, this complimentary, non-obligatory taster reflects Epsom’s Future Ready curriculum.
