Epsom College in Malaysia Kicks Off "Dare to Dream" Program
With a rich heritage of academic excellence spanning over 150 years, Epsom College in Malaysia, the prestigious co-educational British day and boarding school for 3-18 year-olds opening in September, has launched its Dare to Dreamprogram for students.
Dare to Dream is a unique program which encompasses a series of highly engaging and inspirational talks by world-class professionals. It will offer Epsom students of all ages the opportunity to meet and listen to well-known personalities, innovators and thinkers who excel in their respective fields. From a diverse range of disciplines, from science and business to sports and the artistic world, the talks and workshops are aimed at stimulating Epsom students to pursue their dreams and make their mark in the world.

The launch of the Dare to Dream series was witnessed by Epsom College in Malaysia’s management team - Mr Mike Oliver, Head of Senior School, Mrs Jane Smith, Head of Prep School, and Ms. Joyce Lai, CEO of Educ8 Group Sdn Bhd - together with the Caterham F1 Team drivers, Kamui Kobayashi, Marcus Ericsson and Alexander Rossi. Kamui Kobayashi, who is making a comeback after one season out of F1, said, “Both Marcus and I are privileged to be invited by Epsom College in Malaysia to tour the campus and help launch the Dare to Dream series. It is fantastic to see how the school has put in place the support, world-class facilities, and programs to help nurture talent and encourage students to dare to dream.”
Marcus Ericsson, a former leading GP2 driver who has moved up to the upper echelons of motorsport racing by making his debut in Formula One this season, shared his journey, “I've been working towards this goal since I first started racing karts back when I was nine years old. I am thankful to everyone who has made my F1 dream come true.”

“I believe what makes us unique, is that we are here to support and encourage our students to innovate, excel and go beyond boundaries. Dare to Dream is a natural extension of our school’s dynamic academic and co-curricular programme to provide all-round opportunities to help each student realise their full potential,” remarked Mr Mike Oliver.
The Dare to Dream program is made possible in part through Epsom’s extensive links with the arts, sciences and business community. Through the support of its distinguished Board of Governors and alumni, fondly referred to as Old Epsomians, there will be more exciting and inspiring talks hosted at Epsom College in Malaysia.
