Elementary Achievement
Our Youngest Scholars
Students in Grades 2, 3, and 4 participated in the
Science and Language Arts Olympiads. Both of these
contests are based on multiple-choice questions, which
are administered to grade level groups. Each contest has a
time limit of 35 minutes. There is no limit to the number
of students who may participate. The sum of the top ten
scores for each competition is the school’s team score.
Questions for the Language Arts Olympiad are based
on the following topics: spelling, vocabulary, reading
comprehension, analogies, and grammar. Science Olympiad
questions are based on factual knowledge, as well as
students’ understanding of scientific processes.
