【新哲初中】｜WSC创始人空降！与新哲耶鲁冠军轮最小学者对话

Daniel Berdichevsky先生拥有斯坦福大学、哈佛大学双硕士学位，是美国学术十项全能历史最高分保持者。2006年，他创立世界学者杯，搭建起覆盖60+国家、5万+学子的全球顶级学术赛事，获得耶鲁大学官方支持。

讲座中，Daniel先生以赛事吉祥物羊驼为趣味主线，用生动幽默的语言，传递WSC的核心理念：这不是一场压力竞赛，而是一场“学习的庆祝”。赛事致力于打破学科壁垒，让知识彼此联结；鼓励孩子接纳不完美，坦然面对尝试中的“笨拙”与尴尬，在勇敢参与中共同成长。

他揭秘了羊驼的双重寓意：既是直面挑战的勇气象征，也代表坦然面对成长里的小尴尬，鼓励大家放下包袱、大胆表达。

此外，Daniel先生还详细拆解了团队辩论、协作创作、知识挑战、团队竞答四大核心环节，介绍友好计分规则、丰富赛事激励与年度主题，并播放赛场视频，让同学们沉浸式感受WSC的氛围与魅力。

Mr. Daniel Berdichevsky holds master’s degrees from Stanford University and Harvard University, and is the highest scorer in the history of the United States Academic Decathlon. In 2006, he founded the World Scholar’s Cup, a world‑class academic event covering more than 60 countries and 50,000+ students, officially supported by Yale University.

In his talk, Mr. Daniel used the alpaca mascot to share WSC’s core idea: it is not a stressful competition, but a celebration of learning. The event breaks subject boundaries, connects knowledge, and encourages students to embrace imperfection, face challenges bravely, and grow together.He explained the alpaca symbolizes courage and the willingness to accept small embarrassments in growth, urging students to speak up confidently.

He also introduced WSC’s four key events: Team Debate, Collaborative Writing, Scholar’s Challenge, and Team Bowl. He explained the scoring system, awards, annual themes, and played videos to let students feel the lively WSC atmosphere.

讲座还特邀了新哲初中学子Chloe出席。作为2025年世界学者杯耶鲁冠军轮全球银奖得主，Chloe不仅是当时参赛选手中年纪最小的学者，更以团体第六、个人第二十四的优异成绩，成为新哲少年的优秀榜样。她的亮眼表现，为全场少年注入了榜样的力量。

为了让大家更直观地感受WSC的赛场魅力与成长意义，活动现场特别设置了专属荣誉展示区。Chloe与队友从区域轮、全球轮一路晋级耶鲁冠军轮所斩获的奖牌，以及赛事羊驼吉祥物等周边，悉数在此亮相。

The event invited Chloe, a Sendelta junior high student and winner of the Global Silver Medal at the 2025 WSC Yale Tournament of Champions. As the youngest participant, she ranked 6th in team and 24th individually, setting an inspiring example.

An honor display showcased Chloe’s medals from regional, global, and Yale rounds, plus alpaca mascots and souvenirs.

These prizes proved that age is no limit—passion and perseverance can shine on the world stage.

谈及走进新哲交流的缘由，Daniel先生表示，世界学者杯始终珍视全球合作院校大家庭，新哲文院不仅热情敞开校门、支持深度交流，更长期引导学子拥抱国际赛事、勇敢站上全球舞台，这份对学术成长的重视与支持，令人倍感温暖与动容。

尤其是看到Chloe同学以低龄之姿深耕高阶学术内容，凭借过硬素养一路晋级耶鲁总决赛，Daniel先生更是赞叹有加：“年龄从来不是成长的界限，新哲少年用实力为全球青少年树立了标杆。”

这份高度认可，背后是新哲扎实的育人积淀与成熟的培养体系。学校始终坚持因材施教，立足学子个性化发展需求，搭建分层教学体系，全方位培育学子综合学术素养；同时依托全国国际学校首家研创中心，搭配全方位竞赛护航体系，从备赛指导到参赛支持全程助力。
