Our Programmes
Weekday Boarding
Available exclusively for residents of Malaysia, Epsom’s Weekday Boarding Programme offers working parents and children the best of both worlds – the ability to focus entirely on learning and the demands of work during the week, Monday to Friday, and the opportunity to connect and have quality time with the family at home during the weekends.
The Weekday Boarding Programme is available for Year 5 to Year 13 students and fees are fixed at only RM125,000 per year throughout the tenure of your child at the school.
A weekly bus service departing on Monday mornings and returning on Friday evenings is available to facilitate transportation of students to the school from a central location in Kuala Lumpur.
Open only for Malaysian residents, the programme seeks to truncate the time spent between the conclusion of the national SPM examinations and the onset of A-Level study. Commencing every April, students will undertake an 18-month programme that allows for the sitting of A-Level examinations in the summer of the following year. Due to the abbreviated nature of the course, only a select number of subjects are offered (Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics) and the programme is offered to both day and boarding pupils.
Sponsored by the ECM Libra Foundation, deserving students hailing from the neighbouring town of Seremban are offered subsidised day school fees. Fees are discounted up to 50%.
At Epsom International School, we look to build well-adjusted and balanced young adults who are equipped with the knowledge, skills and values to make better informed career and life choices. We believe that there is no one-size-fits-all policy in a child’s education and focus on nurturing independent thinkers and creative problem solvers, equipping our students with the life and academic skills required to succeed in today’s increasingly competitive global landscape. We encourage parents to enrol their children for our free boarding tasters to determine whether this path is the right one for you and your child.
