Sampoerna Academy L’Avenue Shines at WSC 2026 Jakarta Round

The 2026 World Scholars Cup Jakarta Regional Round brought together teams from across Indonesia for two exciting days of academic competition, collaboration, and celebration. This year’s theme, Are We There Yet?, encouraged scholars to think critically about the future, global progress, and the challenges facing society.

Students from Sampoerna Academy L’Avenue proudly participated in all three divisions: Skittles, Juniors, and Seniors. The Skittles division took place on Friday 1 and Saturday 2 May, while the Junior division was held on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 May. The Senior division competed on Sunday 3 and Monday 4 May.

Day One for each division was hosted at Gandhi Memorial Intercontinental School (GMIS). Students competed in a range of challenging academic events, including Debates, Collaborative Writing, and the Scholar’s Challenge. Scholars spent the day working closely with their teammates, applying their knowledge, communication skills, and teamwork under pressure.

Day Two took place at Ciputra Artpreneur International. The highlight of the day was the exciting Scholar’s Bowl competition held inside the theatre, where teams competed in front of a large audience with their clickers. The event also featured the Scholar’s Talent Show, which showed the creativity and confidence of students from different schools, before concluding with the highly anticipated Awards Ceremony.

Students enjoyed two long but rewarding days together with their teams. Food was another memorable part of the experience, with a buffet lunch provided on Day One and a variety of international cuisine choices available on Day Two. Scholars also enjoyed canapés in the afternoon while socialising with students from other schools.

The regional round ended on a high note for the campus, with all participating Primary Skittle, Primary Junior, Secondary Junior, and Senior teams earning spots in the upcoming WSC Global Rounds.

Behind the students’ success was the strong support of the Sampoerna Academy L’Avenue faculty. For weeks, teachers dedicated their time to training, mentoring, and guiding the teams, helping students turn months of preparation into strong performances during the competition.

With the Jakarta Regional Round now concluded, L’Avenue’s scholars are setting their sights on the global stage. Along the way, they have gained not only confidence and sharper critical thinking skills, but also meaningful friendships and connections with fellow participants from across the country.
