Knowledge Bowl is a fast-paced, team-based academic competition where students work together to answer questions across science, history, math, literature, and even pop culture. Practices are engaging and collaborative—students think critically, communicate, and problem-solve as a team in a positive social environment.
The team will practice once a week on Tuesdays for 8 weeks and take part in 4 competitive meets during the season. It’s an excellent fit for students who enjoy learning, teamwork, and a friendly challenge. Along the way, they build confidence, strengthen academic skills, and stay mentally sharp in a fun, supportive setting. No prior experience required.
