Academic Excellence

Pupils at Epsom College in Malaysia will follow the British National Curriculum, with all subjects taught in English. Students in the Senior School will study IGCSEs and A levels and children in the Prep School will follow the New English Curriculum.

The new school will expand Epsom College's international reputation as a provider of high quality education, maintaining links with the top medical schools in the UK and the Russell group universities, as well as with local universities, colleges and medical schools in Malaysia and elsewhere.

It is envisaged that some 75 per cent of the academic staff will come from the UK, including senior staff with British boarding school experience.
