The Academic Decathlon is a competitive event, modeled after the Olympics, designed to stimulate academic achievement and honor “athletes of the mind”.

Like the decathlon of the ancient Greeks, the Academic Decathlon consists of exacting and exciting events. But, while the Greek events were contests of physical strength, the Academic Decathlon is a contest of academic strength that includes tests in logic, art, religion, English, literature, mathematics, social science, current events, and science.
