United States Academic Pentathlon
The Academic Pentathlon is an academic competition involving five academic fields of study. It is run by the USAD. The exact topics involved vary from year to year, but typically include topics from both the sciences and humanities. At the national Academic Pentathlon competitions, schools from both the United States and China compete, but in different divisions. In 2014 and 2015, Austin Academy from Garland, Texas were gold and silver overall in the 8th and 7th grade divisions, respectively. In 2016, Fairmont Private Schools of Anaheim, California won 1st and 2nd place. In 2017, 2018, and 2019, Rio Calaveras Elementary School from Stockton, California, won gold in both the 7th and 8th grade divisions.
