The World Scholar's Cup ("WSC") is an academic and multi-cultural event. Students compete and interact with students from all over the world and represent their home country in a cultural fair.  Students must be available to travel to a foreign country for 6-7 days in June or July for the global round.

In 2019, the SHSID WSC team ranked number 1 overall in Shanghai at the regional WSC round.  At this event, SHSID ranked number 1 in Team Debate, Team Countdown, and Arts Challenge. SHSID ranked number 2 in Scholar's Bowl, Scholar's Challenge, and Literature Challenge.  Over 750 students attended the Shanghai round, and our students' performance was an outstanding achievement.
