“It’s truly remarkable to have an incredible platform like the World Scholar’s Cup that not only celebrates academic excellence but also acknowledges and embraces the quirkiness that comes with it. It presents a refreshing perspective, where being passionate about learning and knowledge is considered “cool”, because it is. It is cool to know a lot of things.” – Mr Joshua Antonio (Senior School Teacher)
