Academic Decathlon of New Jersey
Welcome to New Jersey's Premier High School
Academic Competition
A New Theme Each Year
The overall theme for the
2024-2025 Academic Decathlon is
Our Changing Climate
Competing in the Academic Decathlon is not about demonstrating how good a student you already are.
It’s about working on a team, mastering college-level material, and practicing skills, like public speaking, that might be wholly new to you. It’s about the people you’ll meet along the way—the coaches who will mentor you, the competitors who will challenge you, and the teammates who will become your lifelong friends.
No other activity will better prepare you for university.
As a decathlete, you will study an exciting new theme each year, themes like Russia, World War I, the 1960s and New Alternatives in Energy. You will explore seven subjects connected to that theme, from art and science to math and economics.
