The ICSB SME World Forum’s Lemonade Day for students under 18 took center stage this year at HELP International School (HIS), and what an unforgettable experience it was! Building on the phenomenal success of last year’s event at 21st Century School in Baku, this year’s forum brought us face-to-face with an extraordinary group of students—brilliant, creative, and exceptionally well-mannered—whose boundless energy and enthusiasm left us inspired and hopeful for the future.
HELP International School, founded in 2014, is more than just an institution; it’s a beacon of modern education. Offering a British curriculum enriched with IPC accreditation and Singapore Maths, HIS masterfully blends Western and Eastern values, igniting a passion for lifelong learning in every student, all backed by the visionary support of HELP University.
This year’s event was an incredible success thanks to the exceptional coordination of Mr. Paul Lau and Dr. Nicholas Lum. A standout focus was on Financial Literacy in Primary Schools, where 4th and 5th graders wowed us with their ability to discuss advanced topics like interest rates, compound rates, and the stock market with clarity and enthusiasm. Their knowledge and confidence at such a young age are extraordinary!
What truly stood out was the unwavering dedication of his teachers. Their passion for education and genuine care for their students was evident in every interaction. They aren’t just teaching—they are instilling pride, fostering curiosity, and building a belief in each child’s potential. This nurturing environment creates students who are confident, curious, and ready to take on the world.
HIS has masterfully engineered itself to be a playground for experiential learning, blending academics with hands-on activities that inspire innovation and creativity. The high school students were equally remarkable, radiating pride in their work, school, and peers—a testament to the supportive and collaborative culture within the school.
The ICSB President was so inspired by the student’s enthusiasm, knowledge, and excitement that he joked about returning to middle and high school to experience this incredible new curriculum!
For the ICSB team, this event was a powerful reminder of how a brilliant learning ecosystem can shape the next generation of leaders. These students are destined to go far, and it’s a joy to witness the solid foundation being laid for their bright futures.
Thank you to the HIS community and everyone who made this day unforgettable. Together, we’re shaping the next generation of entrepreneurial thinkers and leaders! 💡🌟
