Epsom College Malaysia

This very good international school in Malaysia is a relatively new boarding and day school on a 50-acre site at Bandar Enstek, south of Kuala Lumpur. The school combines academic excellence with a first class British boarding experience, with up to 90 per cent of the senior school boarding. The emphasis will be on creating a family environment within a structured school routine.

Curriculum

Seen as a major development in the field of education in Malaysia, the school co-educational and will follow the British National Curriculum with all teaching in English. The Senior School, which is both a day and boarding school, will open in September 2013 with a small Junior School on site too for day pupils 2 – 11 years old. The main Junior School in Kuala Lumpur will open soon after.

Students and teachers

Senior School teaching staff, Housemasters and Housemistresses, together with tutors and their families, will be resident on site. There will also be a Prefect system, modelled on the successful structure at the school, within both the school and the individual Houses.

In addition to full boarding, weekly boarding, which was pioneered by their sister school in the UK, will be an option. It is believed that this will be popular with parents who want a British boarding lifestyle for their children without having to travel long distances.
