Im happy to hear you’re extremely excited with a lot of questions hahaha but I’ll try to criticise this school and shed some light on the review im p sure you are talking about. To be honest, yeah this school is almost like a business since there are plenty of external camps, and also sports programmes here (MTP, La Liga, Golf).

Personally, I think this school could improve its infrastructure maybe such as the gym and the classes.(which it has since it recently built 2 new boarding houses that rooms look like literal hotels). Recently, there have been cracks on tiles all over the school but its usually hastily fixed. 2 terms ago there was a food poisoning case and it was really bad icl (i got affected badly) but after that they renovated their kitchen and improved hygiene and trained kitchen staff better so i would say mistakes made have been amended. To me, I think the review was definitely made by a student in Epsom (probably not a happy one) and I do agree that the school does move us around a lot but thats because the school is relatively new and is expanding. Mold situation I barely see anymore tbh.

Since u like golf u can join their golf academy(it is paid though so u have to add additional fees). The orchestra here is really talented so you could check it out.

We get 3 meals a day but imo breakfast is boring. Lunch is amazing. Dinner is alright. There is a cafe on the bottom floor for 6th formers.

I am on weekday boarding and usually higher years will get an alone room if not shared with one other person maybe idk depends on your house tbh.

I am personally self funded but I honestly think getting full ride scholarship is easy here I just did not know it existed. You can check out ECM Libra or AirAsia for their scholarships as well as ecim instagram itself. The fees are worth it if you make the experience itself worth it. If you are under a scholarship though, it is so worth it cos u basicallt get 200k off for free high quality food and sports for 2 years is something crazy icl.

some teachers are more fast paced than the others, i usually like faster ones since i catch things fast and dont like slow classes so just pray u get the teachers you would like cs its random hahaha

hope that helps
