USAD Individual Competition at its heart is a place for students to pursue their passion to learn.
USAD Individual Competition offers the same outstanding curriculum — and superior level of competition — that has drawn top student scholars to Academic Decathlon® teams for over fifty years. Develop good study habits and build self-motivation as you prepare to match intellect with others through four rounds of competition. Master advanced curriculum material across seven academic subjects: Art, Economics, Literature, Mathematics, Music, Science and Social Science. For the 2024-2025 season, the curricular theme is Our Changing Climate.
