Beyond the competition, DBS is honoured to serve as the preferred host school for the World Scholar's Cup in Bangkok, having already hosted the regional round earlier this year and preparing to welcome two upcoming Global Rounds and the popular 'Skittles' celebration this summer. This recognition highlights DBS's standing as a leading international school and premier host for world-class academic events in the region.
'Our scholars have once again shown what makes DBS special, intellectual curiosity, spirited collaboration, and a passion for learning,' said Mr. Brad Dunphy, Director of the Enhanced British Curriculum. 'Hosting the World Scholar's Cup is both a privilege and a reflection of our commitment to academic excellence for all.'
As DBS looks ahead to the Global Rounds, the entire school community congratulates all scholars who represented the school with excellence.
