Epsom College opens in Malaysia

In anticipation of Epsom College in Malaysia’s inaugural student intake this September, the co-educational boarding school for three- to 18-year-olds has opened its doors for those wanting a look at its state-of-the-art campus facilities.
Located in Bandar Enstek, the college is a mere 15 minutes from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT), and an hour south of Kuala Lumpur. The 50-acre development is Epsom’s first overseas campus.
Boasting 150 years of UK heritage, the college offers students a first class British education experience. Following the Cambridge International Examination (CIE) syllabus, it aims to mirror the academic excellence of Epsom College in the UK.
Epsom College in Malaysia chairman of governors Tan Sri Dr Tony Fernandes, headmaster Martin George, head of Senior School Mike Oliver, and head of Prep School Jane Smith personally led members of the media on an exclusive campus tour.
“The college has allocated RM1 million for books and digital resources for 2014 alone. Together with Wi-Fi capability, this will be the perfect working and research environment for our students,” George said.
Like its sister college in the UK, Epsom College in Malaysia will not only stress academic excellence but an all-round holistic co-curriculum to maximise students’ full potential. These subjects include arts, music, dance, theatre and an extensive number of sports activities.
“Epsom College in Malaysia is everything I imagined and so much more. Not only do we have world-class facilities for the students but I am elated to have George heading the college with the support of a first-class teaching faculty and management team,” Fernandes said.
