Send Avalon Academic Decathlon Team to '25 Nationals!

The Avalon School Academic Decathlon (AD) team has qualified for the USAD National Tournament in Des Moines, Iowa in April! The team seeks your support to fund their travel and accommodations at Nationals. Our team of 9 dedicated decathletes and coaches have worked so hard, so we are asking for your generosity to help them represent Minnesota proudly at Nationals!

The United States Academic Decathlon competitions consist of 7 events testing learning across a variety of subjects, including Art, Music, Literature, Science, Economics, Math and Social Science, around the 2025 theme of Our Changing Climate; plus a timed essay written on 1 of 3 topics; a 7-minute interview meant to prepare the students for future college or job interviews; a 4-minute prepared speech on a topic of the decathletes' choice and a 2-minute impromptu speech they are given just 1 minute to prepare!

Donations of any size will help tremendously, and thank you in advance for your support of our amazing Academic Decathletes!
