Special Area - Crime and Justice
History - A History of Cheating
Science - Disease and Public Health
Literature - Words to Light the Darkness
Arts - Flawed Visions, Broken Sounds
Social Studies - When States Falter
Day 1 began with a lot of enthusiasm, coupled with a few
apprehensions, as many scholars were débutantes in the
Scholar’s Cup.
The World Scholar’s Team, led by its founder Mr. Daniel
Berdichevsky, trained the students about the various
rules of the competition, and skills which the students
must possess for a healthy competition.

writing venues for ‘Collaborative Writing’ and ‘Scholar’s Challenge’. The day
was all about research, learning and team work for the scholars, each one
eager to make a mark in this unique competition.
