How the Decathlon works
The Academic Junior High Decathlon is a one-day competition for Catholic school students in grades 6–8.
-
Ten events
Two are collaborative team efforts — a Logic Quiz with 20 rigorous thinking problems and a Super Quiz with 50 multiple-choice questions across five academic themes.
-
Eight individual subjects
Roman Catholic doctrine, English, Literature, Science, Mathematics, Current Events, Social Studies, and Fine Arts (art and music).
-
How schools enter
Schools register with a full team of 10 students, or with 1–5 students competing in individual subject tests only as a POD (Part of Decathlon).
-
Awards
Awards are given for individual and team performance. Winning school teams and individual subject winners advance to a National championship shortly after the main competition.
