Fourteen Meadowridge students from the student-led World Scholars Cup club competed at the prestigious World Scholars Cup (WSC) Tournament of Champions at Yale University! This global event brought together over 2,000 scholars from more than 100 countries. Despite the intensity of the competition, our students showcased incredible resilience, skill, and teamwork, earning 16 gold and 30 silver medals!
Four teams were coached by students Wilson H., Brian Z., and Andy G. (Grade 10), who have achieved remarkable success. Their achievements reflect the commitment to excellence that defines Meadowridge students and their ability to excel in challenging, international settings. After competing in the regional round in April 2024, the four teams advanced to the Global Round in Dalian, China, in July. From there, they qualified for the Tournament of Champions (TOC) at Yale University in mid-November.
