Last Chance! 2022 Greater Fairfax Homeschool Geography Bee
Last call for homeschooled geography enthusiasts to register for the 2022 Greater Fairfax Homeschool Geography Bee this Wednesday. Compass is the host of this fun, “school level” contest that welcomes homeschooled kids from around the metro DC area.
Date: Wednesday, February 2
Time: 3:30 pm- 5:00 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 $15.00 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 2021-22 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 “official” 2022 questions are asked.
- The Bee will consist of Preliminary, Final, and Championship Rounds, if needed, to obtain a single, school-level winner.
- Homeschooled students in 4th- 8th grades may participate. (Grade is defined by student’s age-based enrollment if in traditional school without acceleration, grade skipping, or delayed entry. Contestants may not have reached their 15th birthday on or before September 1, 2021)
- This is a school-level bee only. Since the National Geographic Bee has been discontinued, the winner will not advance to further tiers of competition.
