In August, 29 students competed against more than 2,200 skilled and talented students at WSC’s Bangkok Global Round obtaining 90 gold medals, 88 silver medals, and 2 trophies, earning all of them a place in the Tournament of Champions.

All the students participated in 4 academic events: the scholar’s challenge, scholar’s bowl, team debate, and collaborative writing. Through such great experience and exposure, our students have sharpened their essay writing skills, built courage to speak and debate, enhanced critical thinking skills, promoted the culture of reading, and are ready for international competitions of higher levels.
