World Scholar’s Cup – Success on the Global Stage
Last week, a group of twelve enthusiastic and talented BSKL students took part in the World Scholar’s Cup Global Round in Kuala Lumpur — an international celebration of learning, collaboration and curiosity.

Representing our school with pride, the students joined over 25,000 participants from over 30 countries for five days of academic challenges, cultural exchange, and unforgettable experiences.Throughout the competition, our students showcased their knowledge, critical thinking and teamwork in a variety of events, including:

  • Team Debate – where students developed arguments and delivered persuasive speeches on a wide range of thought-provoking topics.
  • Scholar’s Bowl – a fast-paced quiz combining multimedia and critical thinking under pressure.Collaborative Writing – where teams constructed compelling essays on global issues.
  • Scholar’s Challenge – an individual test of depth and breadth across the World Scholar’s Cup curriculum.

Beyond the academic events, students had the chance to meet peers from around the world, forming friendships and gaining insights into different cultures and perspectives.We are incredibly proud of the way our students conducted themselves — not only in competition, but also as ambassadors of our school. Their dedication and passion for learning were evident throughout the event.

A special congratulations to all those who brought home individual and team medals - every student won at least one individual medal. A special mention for Hann, Satch and Sidd in Primary School who were the overall winners for their age division and to Joshua, Bryan and Mimi (a former BSKL student who has recently relocated to Vietnam) who qualified for the Tournament of Champions at Yale University and will fly to America to represent BSKL in November!

Well done all involved, you’ve inspired the next group of Scholars to take on the challenge of World Scholar’s Cup in 2026!
