Coming Soon: 2023 Greater Fairfax Homeschool Geography Bee
Homeschooled geography enthusiasts are invited to register for the 2023 Greater Fairfax Homeschool Geography Bee. Compass is the host of this fun, “school level” contest that welcomes homeschooled kids from around the metro DC area.
Date: Wednesday, February 15
Time: 4:00 pm- 5:30 pm
Location: 510 Herndon Parkway, Suite C
Registration: Students must be pre-registered to participate. There is a fee of $10.00 for Compass students and $20.00 for non-Compass students to cover the cost of running the bee, prizes, and participant goodies. (Compass students are ones who have been enrolled in the current school year.) Compass students register HERE. Non-Compass, Homeschooled students register HERE.
Details:
- Questions will be taken from prior year’s official National Geographic Bee contests. The format will be mostly oral Q & A with a few short written answers and map-reading activities. There will be a few practice, warm-up rounds before competition questions are asked.
- The Bee will consist of Practice, Final, and Championship Rounds, if needed, to obtain a single, school-level winner.
- Homeschooled students in 4th- 8th grades may participate.
- This is a school-level bee only. Since the National Geographic Bee was discontinued in 2019, the winner will not advance to further tiers of competition.
