Meeting the growing demand among Bangladeshi families for world-class education well before university, Epsom College Malaysia hosted an exclusive seminar at The Westin Dhaka to introduce its award-winning British boarding experience.
Traditionally, Bangladeshi students ventured abroad only for higher education. Today, however, more ambitious families are exploring international boarding schools that offer not only academic excellence but also a safe and structured routine, holistic student care, and the all-round development that top universities value so highly.
Epsom College Malaysia is Asia’s leading international boarding school and the only sister school of the prestigious 170-year-old Epsom College in the UK. Located just minutes from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, its purpose-built 50-acre campus delivers a world-class British education enriched by Asian heritage and values. Catering to students aged 3 to 19, Epsom offers the full British curriculum, including the IGCSEs and A-Levels, through both day and full boarding options. The College is committed to nurturing kind, capable and principled young people through a balanced educational experience that blends rigorous academic standards with exceptional student support, character development and global citizenship. Graduates from Epsom gain admission to best universities globally such as the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, LSE, Stanford University, Brown University, the University of Tokyo, the University of Hong Kong and many more.
With students representing over 30 nationalities, Epsom offers a dynamic and multicultural environment that mirrors the global workplaces of the future, while remaining aligned with the cultural values familiar to Bangladeshi families. Halal-certified meals, respect for religious practices and Malaysia’s dependent visa policy, which allows parents to reside in the country under their child’s visa, provide reassurance and offer families the option to stay close to home. For full boarders, Malaysia’s shared time zone with Bangladesh ensures seamless communication and peace of mind compared to more distant Western countries.
“Malaysia continues to strengthen its position as an education hub, already hosting renowned institutions such as the University of Nottingham Malaysia, Monash University Malaysia and Heriot-Watt University Malaysia. Epsom carries this reputation into the K-12 sector, bringing a truly global education closer to home,” said H.E. Mohd Shuhada, High Commissioner of Malaysia to Bangladesh.
Life at Epsom extends far beyond the classroom. State-of-the-art facilities support music, drama and visual arts, while community service programmes cultivate leadership and social responsibility. Pupils can also train like professionals through the Mouratoglou Tennis Programme, the LALIGA Football Academy Malaysia and the ECM Golf Academy, all fully integrated within the school. With nearly 150 co-curricular activities each term and astudent support structure designed to support individual growth, Epsom nurtures the independence, resilience and empathy that define future-fluent leaders. From morning house meetings to evening study sessions, students develop soft skills and self-discipline, with many parents observing remarkable growth within a single term. Cross-cultural friendships, meanwhile, often become lifelong networks.
These strengths are underpinned by the enduring friendship between Bangladesh and Malaysia, two nations bound by mutual respect and cooperation. This makes Malaysia a natural and trusted destination for families seeking a holistic and globally recognised educational pathway, from school to the world’s finest universities.
