Six subjects: science, math, history, literature, art and economics. Four events: debate, essay, a multiple choice test and a live tournament. Teams of three: both middle school and high school.  And countries from three continents and counting.

Welcome to the World Scholar's Cup.

In the World Scholar's Cup, teams compete at national and regional meets to qualify for the World Finals. The competition focuses on a different theme each year. The 2008-2009 theme is  The Fall of Empires.

The World Scholar's Cup isn't about specialization in a single subject; it's about teamwork, thinking on your feet and a willingness to learn new things. It has been specially designed to fit the interests (and time constraints!) of English-language students worldwide.

Participants have the opportunity to win both individual and team awards, to bolster their extracurricular records for college and university admissions, and to explore new subjects and skills. But most importantly, they can forge new contacts around the world and benefit from a unique team-based learning opportunity.

Teams from ten countries participated in the 2007-2008 World Scholar's Cup. Congratulations to the High School World Champions from Canyon del Oro High School in the United States and the Middle School World Champions from Raffles Institution in Singapore. See more results

The 2008-2009 World Finals will be held June 13-14, 2009 at Nanyang Girls High School in Singapore. We invite you to join us.
