Students from The International School of London (ISL) Qatar were on top of the world recently, when they swept up multiple awards at the prestigious World Scholars Cup (WSC) Tournament of Champions, held at Yale University in the United States.
Since its inception in 2007, The World Scholar’s Cup has become one of the most recognized, joyful, and fastest-growing extracurricular activities in the world.
As the premier international team tournament, the WSC draws thousands of students from over 40 countries. Although it may look at first glance like an academic competition, it is more aptly described as a celebration of learning—an inclusive enrichment experience in which students of all backgrounds work together to explore new subjects and practice new skills.
The theme for the WSC this year is ‘An Entangled World’, suggesting that the things we know, remember, and interact within the world are intricately and meaningfully interconnected.
The WSC enables students to make connections to the curriculum; in particular, linking the experiences from each event to some of the learner profile traits with the help of the coaches.
ISL Qatar students took part in the Global Finals held in Kuala Lumpur last summer, where they earned a place in the Tournament of Champions at Yale University.
