10 Years of Trailblazing Education: Epsom College in Malaysia Celebrates a Decade of Excellence
What do you get when you mix British boarding school tradition, Southeast Asian flair, and a killer lineup of academics, sports, and leadership training? The answer: Epsom College in Malaysia (ECiM). This November, the school celebrated its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of shaking up the region’s educational scene and setting the bar sky-high for future leaders.
Nestled on a jaw-dropping 50-acre campus near Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Epsom has become the name in transformative education in Southeast Asia. With a student body representing over 30 countries, this isn’t just a school; it’s a global think tank where young minds are melded to take on the world.
From Classrooms to Cambridge
Let’s talk academics. Think Ivy Leagues and Russell Groups—Cambridge, Stanford, LSE, and Imperial are just a few of the dream schools where their alumni are now crushing it. This year alone, 100% of Epsom’s Russell Group applicants bagged offers, raking in over USD 1 million in scholarships. Not bad for a school that’s just 10 years young.
“Epsom isn’t just about grades—it’s about grit,” says Matthew Brown, the school’s headmaster. “We’re here to prepare our students not just for university, but for life. We’re shaping leaders, thinkers, and changemakers.”
Game On: Where Sports Meet Stardom
But hey, it’s not all books and exams. Epsom has redefined sports education in the region, and they’ve got some serious heavy hitters on board:
Mouratoglou Tennis Academy: Yep, that Mouratoglou, coach to Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka. Epsom’s tennis champs train on ITF-certified courts—including Malaysia’s only covered clay courts—and are smashing their way onto international circuits.
LALIGA Football Academy: Got football dreams? Epsom’s partnership with Spain’s premier league means students get pro-level training from top-tier coaches.
ECM Golf Academy: With a five-acre on-campus golf practice facility and access to a championship course, their golfers are teeing up for greatness.
And it’s not just about winning trophies—although they’ve got plenty of those. Sports at Epsom build discipline, resilience, and leadership, ensuring students score both on and off the field.
Weekday Boarding: Boarding School with a Twist
For Malaysian families who want the best of both worlds, Epsom’s Weekday Boarding Programme is a game-changer. Students dive into a structured, immersive learning environment during the week, then head home for weekend downtime with family. It’s the perfect mix of independence and support, with 24/7 pastoral care that ensures students thrive in every aspect of their lives.
Building Visionaries: Leadership for Tomorrow
Epsom isn’t just creating top-notch students; it’s creating leaders. With initiatives like Epsom Live Talks, students rub shoulders with heavyweights in business, politics, and entrepreneurship. Add in a curriculum that champions financial literacy and entrepreneurial thinking, and you’ve got a recipe for producing future CEOs and world leaders.
But the real magic? Epsom’s focus on soft skills—communication, emotional intelligence, and teamwork—that prepare students to lead with confidence and compassion in an ever-changing world.
Accessibility Meets Excellence
Through a collaboration with AirAsia, Epsom is breaking down barriers to make world-class education more accessible. Exclusive airfare packages mean families across Asia Pacific can send their kids to Epsom without breaking a sweat—or the bank.
Cheers to the Next Decade
As Epsom College in Malaysia celebrates 10 years of trailblazing education, it’s clear this is just the beginning. With a track record of academic and athletic excellence, a focus on holistic growth, and a vision for global impact, Epsom is set to empower even more students to reach for the stars in the next decade and beyond.
So, here’s to 10 years of raising the bar—and to many more years of shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
