Middle School scholastic competitors take written tests in six subjects (Current Events, Humanities, Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies) at local tournaments to qualify for a state tournament. Tryouts take place in early fall.

Upper School scholastic competitors test in subjects that they are currently taking in school. As a result, qualifying tournaments and the state tournament take place in late spring. Teachers recommend top performers in their classes for testing, therefore no tryouts are held
