At CISK, Students Take the Lead in Their Own Story

At CISK, students are encouraged to think critically, communicate confidently, and engage with the world in meaningful ways. Recently, our students showcased these qualities through their achievements at the World Scholar’s Cup and their thoughtful presentations at the TOK Exhibition.

World Scholar's Cup

On May 23–24, CISK students competed in the Suzhou Regional Round of the World Scholar's Cup.

Our students prepared in their weekly CCA lessons and at home for this year’s theme, ”Are We There Yet?” The WSC curriculum covers six subject areas, including Science & Technology, Literature & Media, Art & Music, and History. The two-day competition includes four events: Team Debate, Collaborative Writing, the Scholar's Challenge, and the Scholar's Bowl.

Both CISK teams represented the school excellently, qualified for the global rounds this summer, and received over 25 individual and team awards. Jane Li (6A), Ella Eberly (6B), and Patricia Xu (6B) placed 2nd in the Junior Division Team Debate and earned a Silver award overall. Patricia was also selected to participate in the “Debate Showcase” on the second day.

We are so grateful for our scholars' passion and tireless hard work. They approached every debate, every essay, and every challenge with curiosity and perseverance. We couldn't be prouder of them and can't wait to see what they do next!

TOK Exhibition

The TOK Exhibition is a flagship IB Diploma experience that brings learning to life. Through this exhibition, students select one of the 35 knowledge prompts set by the International Baccalaureate and explore it using real‑life objects that are personally meaningful and culturally relevant.

The exhibition showcases students as curious, reflective, and analytical thinkers, encouraging them to investigate big ideas about knowledge, perspective, evidence, and truth beyond the classroom. By connecting theory to real‑world contexts, students develop deeper insight into how knowledge is created, shared, and valued in everyday life.

Celebrating student voice, creativity, and independent thinking, the TOK Exhibition highlights our commitment to nurturing confident, globally minded learners who can think critically, communicate thoughtfully, and engage meaningfully with the world around them.

At CISK, we don't just teach students to learn — we empower them to think, speak, and act. And as they continue to grow, whether on the global stage or in the classroom, they prove it every single day. Stay tuned for more stories of growth, curiosity, and courage.
