Description: Academic Challenge offers our students a valuable chance to engage in extracurricular learning opportunities covering a variety of subjects in a team-setting. Key subjects include: Art, Science, Math, Geography, Literature, Film, Sports, Modern, American and Ancient History, Pop Culture, and Music. We will engage in trivia-based projects to promote discovery in new subject-areas while utilizing quiz sites such as Sporcle, Kahoot!, Qwiz5 and NAQT to supplement our learning experience.
The Academic Challenge team will compete in 4-6 regional tournaments throughout the school-year. If the Middle School team qualifies, we will compete in the NAQT National Tournament May 8-10 in Chicago.
