How does it work?
How does it work?
- Students compete as team members in a series of academic tests and demonstrations. Each team consists of three “A” (Honor), three “B” (Scholastic), and three “C” or below (Varsity) students. Awards are presented to the top teams as well as the top individual students in each event.
- Academic Decathlon is, like its ancient Greek counterpart, a 10-event contest. Participants demonstrate their academic strength by completing seven written tests, writing an essay, delivering a prepared and an impromptu speech, and participating in an interview. The exciting Super Quiz is a team event held before a live audience.
- The champion school of the county event advances to the California Academic Decathlon. The California Academic Decathlon winner advances to the United States Academic Decathlon competition held in April each year.
- For example, the theme for the 2021-2022 Academic Decathlon was Water - A Most Essential Resource.
