During my visit to the school, it was summer school season, and the expansive sports grounds were meticulously trimmed and well-maintained.

FORM 6 – University Preparatory Education
Structure of FORM 6
📌 Lower 6 (Duration: 6 months – 1 year)
Focuses on building fundamental knowledge required for university admission. 📌 Upper 6 (Duration: 1 year)
After completing Lower 6, students progress to Upper 6.
At the end of Upper 6, students sit for the STPM (Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia) exam, a government-certified exam recognized internationally.
STPM & A-Level Comparison
- STPM results determine university admission and future career opportunities.
- Similarly, students taking the A-Level pathway must complete the IGCSE exams before proceeding.
- Both STPM and A-Level are considered academically equivalent in terms of difficulty and recognition. ＜ Boarding House＞
The student dormitory is in a separate building from the main block, but with a covered walkway, students can reach their classrooms without getting wet on rainy days.
The interior of the dormitory is neatly organized and well-maintained.
Microwave, Oven
Meals are provided three times a day in the dormitory, but there are also IH cooktops, refrigerators, and water purifiers, allowing students to prepare light snacks whenever they feel hungry.
It really feels like an international school dormitory! There are also a billiard table and a foosball table for students to enjoy.
It’s a cozy living area where students can chat with friends, read books, and relax.
There is also a laundry room. You can put your laundry here.
＜Preschool＞
Since it was during the school holiday, the area was being thoroughly cleaned.
The preschool has a beautiful artificial turf garden. In Malaysia, many kindergartens do not have outdoor play areas, so having a courtyard where children can play under the sunlight is truly special.
At the back, there is a covered sandbox, which is also rare in Malaysian kindergartens.
Daily Timetable
I’ve never seen a kindergarten in Malaysia with so many wooden building blocks before!
Are these costumes for role-playing games? This is also the first time I’ve seen something like this in a Malaysian kindergarten!
Additionally, there are panels with object names written in both English and Chinese, creating an environment where children can naturally and easily learn languages.
＜Uniform Shop＞
A miniature model of the school building! The campus is so vast that it takes about half a day to explore everything.
Epsom College in Malaysia officially opened on December 1, 2014.
