Epsom College Malaysia nurtures future business leaders… 10th Anniversary Korean Briefing Session Held

Epsom College Malaysia, the only sister school of Epsom College, a prestigious British boarding school with 200 years of tradition, held an admission information session for Korean parents on October 26 to commemorate its 10th anniversary. This event is designed to introduce Epsom’s unique philosophy and school programs that nurture Asia’s future leaders.

Epsom College Malaysia is based on strong affiliates such as Capital A (Air Asia parent company). During the training process, we make full use of the network of affiliates, including airlines, finance, and hotel chains. We also provide exceptional benefits, such as internships and CEO meetings, to students who will become future leaders in Asia. Through this, we spare no effort in helping you learn various technologies that can be used in real business environments. The anecdote of Capital A CEO Tony Fernandez opening his alma mater, Epsom College, in 2014 to provide world-class education and more learning opportunities to students in Asia is famous. Rather than simply establishing a school, he continues to serve as the chairman of the board of directors and continues to play a pivotal role in each affiliate and political and business networks.

Epsom College Malaysia, which opened in 2014, has established itself as the world’s only international school that trains future leaders with a business mind. It has built an international reputation by providing academic programs that combine traditional British education and innovation, ranging from the International Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) to A-level. In particular, in the 10 years since its establishment, it has achieved remarkable growth in both academic performance and facilities in Malaysia’s natural, safe and clean learning environment. After the school opened, the number of students increased more than six times. More than 60% of the students are international students from over 30 countries, including the UK, the US, Europe, China, Japan, Korea, and Zimbabwe. For the past five consecutive years, we have produced students accepted to Cambridge University, the top university in England. There are also two students who were admitted to Stanford University in the United States. Additionally, among this year’s graduates, 100% of students who applied to the Russell Group in the UK were accepted, achieving the feat of being admitted to leading universities around the world. The entrance scholarship offered to the Class of 2024 is worth $1 million. The approximately 100,000 pyeong campus, located 15 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, boasts excellent sports facilities. It features 11 tennis courts, 5 sports fields, and golf facilities including bunkers and a putting green. It also has an outdoor swimming pool, squash court, and six dormitories, and provides thorough emotional management through an excellent dormitory program that follows the tradition of Epsom College in England. In particular, Epsom College Malaysia’s emotional management program and leadership program were recognized for their quality and depth by obtaining ‘Double Beacon’ status, an award given to only 6 schools out of 450 schools belonging to COBIS, the British Federation of International Schools. In particular, this year, a variety of commemorative events are planned to mark the school’s 10th anniversary. Last September, members of the Board of Directors of Epsom UK School visited Malaysia and held a meaningful event with students, faculty, staff, and parents.

Operating a top-class sports academy

Providing a guide to studying and exercising in parallel

Epsom College Malaysia is famous for its academic performance and as an international school that operates a world-class sports academy on campus. The purpose of this is to go beyond academic achievement by combining studies and sports, and to acquire the spirit of sports through elite sports activities, including golf and tennis. This is a good example of Epsom College Malaysia’s advanced philosophy of providing students with opportunities to be useful in business after graduating from university.

In particular, it provides systematic guidance on the results that can be achieved by combining academics and sports in the world’s best college entrance preparation process. This is attracting attention as an important factor that gives students with excellent academic ability and outstanding capabilities in extracurricular activities an advantage in entering major prestigious universities, including Ivy League universities in the United States. Epsom College Malaysia will host various international competitions on 11 International Tennis Federation (ITF) standard tennis courts through a partnership with France’s Mouratoglou Tennis Academy, famous as Serena Williams’ personal coach. This provides students with the opportunity to participate in world-class tennis competitions. In particular, it has Asia’s only French red clay court on its campus and boasts a systematic tennis program through coaches dispatched from France’s Mouratoglou Academy.

The golf academy is also equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. Professional training is provided by coaches who are PGA Professionals and former National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) scholarship recipients. We have also prepared a college admissions guide that allows you to aim for the world’s best university scholarship admission system through high-level sports activities. The two-story, 30-hit driving range boasts a distance of 280 meters and is equipped with a perfect golf training environment, including Trackman video simulation software, a putting green, and two sand bunkers. In September this year, La Liga Football Academy Malaysia, a Spanish professional football league, was officially launched at Epsom College Malaysia.

Through this, students will be able to enjoy a world-class soccer program in the best facilities on the Epsom campus. We cultivate talents in a wide range of arts and physical education, including music and sports. Recently, the ECM Music Academy was opened with the goal of advancing to music college. The goal is to provide students with opportunities to develop their musical talents. We help students build the qualifications and experience to be active on the international stage and help them grow into global leaders through music. Academy students, selected through a rigorous process, are also given the opportunity to take part in masterclasses with British orchestras through the Epsom-based Malaysian International Youth Orchestra. We aim to develop creative sensibilities and expressions through music by providing students with the opportunity to pursue their dreams at public concerts held in London every year.
