ISD Students Claire and Jason exceled at the Copernicus Olympiad in Natural Sciences, earning gold and silver medals.
We are proud to share the achievements of our students at the Copernicus Olympiad Global Finals held in Houston, USA. Our Grade 8 student, Claire L., and Grade 9 student Jason Z. took to the international stage to compete against the world’s brightest young minds in the field of Natural Sciences. After being selected in the first round, these two exceptional students earned their tickets to the Global Finals.
Claire earned a gold medal, and Jason won a silver medal, reflecting their dedication, curiosity, and hard work. Their success is a testament to both their talent and the supportive, inspiring learning environment at ISD.
The Copernicus Olympiad is an international competition that challenges young scientists to apply their knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy. For the Natural Sciences category, the final round typically involves solving challenging, higher‑level questions that test deep conceptual understanding and the application of scientific principles learned throughout earlier stages of the competition.
◦ The final round brings together top performers from around the world.
◦ Students compete in questions designed to stretch their reasoning and problem‑solving skills in natural sciences, including biology, chemistry, physics, and interdisciplinary science concepts.
◦ Success in this round can lead to medals (gold, silver, bronze) based on performance.
For Claire and Jason, the Houston trip was about far more than the final tally. The competition served as a bridge, connecting them with peers from diverse cultural backgrounds. Through interactions, they sparked new ideas and grew through collaborative learning. Whether discussing theories or sharing cultural stories, they discovered that, despite their differing backgrounds, their drive to explore is exactly the same.
A special thank you to PSA Co-Chair Ms. Angel Su, who stood firmly by our students' side throughout this journey to Houston. With her constant presence and encouragement, our students Claire and Jason take the world stage with confidence, proudly representing ISD. We are deeply grateful for her dedicated support every step of the way.
Congratulations to Claire, Jason, and all participants for their outstanding accomplishments! May you always keep that spark of curiosity alive. And to every ISD student, may you continue to reach for the highest peaks in all that you love!
