The World Scholar\u2019s Cup<\/a> was first staged in 2007 as a tournament which celebrates of the joy of learning; a tournament as rewarding for the team that comes in last as the for the team that comes in first; and an enrichment opportunity that motivates pupils not just to demonstrate their existing strengths but to discover new ones.  Worldwide, over 12,000 scholars take part in over 100 regional rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After reaching the Global Rounds in both 2017 and 2018, Harrow Hong Kong formalised the World Scholar\u2019s Cup as part of the Harrow Horizons Super-Curriculum programme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
