Academic WorldQuest
Academic WorldQuest is an annual team-based international affairs, geography, history and culture competition sponsored by the World Affairs Councils of America. WorldQuest, held every year since 2003, has two different levels open to competitors - high school and adult.
WorldQuest was created in 1995 by Jennifer Watson Roberts of the World Affairs Council of Charlotte. The national competition began in 2003.
In order to compete at the national competition, held each spring in Washington, D.C., teams must first win at their regional council level (usually held in January or February). The 2013 National Academic WorldQuest Competition will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2013 at the Georgetown University Hotel & Convention Center.

Famous quotes containing the word academic:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
