Register for the 2025 USA Biolympiad

The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) announces that school registration for the 2025 USA Biolympiad (USABO), the nation's most prestigious biology education and testing program for high school students, closes soon. All schools and students across the U.S. should register by November 8, 2024, and students cannot be registered unless schools are registered by that date.

"The USA Biolympiad encourages excellence in science education. It propels U.S. high school students and their teachers to reach the gold standard," said Joann P. DiGennaro, CEE President. "This is an exciting opportunity to compete nationally and globally; all four 2024 USA Biolympiad Team members were awarded Gold Medals at the 35th International Biology Olympiad (IBO) held in Astana, Kazakhstan!"

With school registration, teachers gain access to a wealth of online biology resources, including recommended readings, study guides, practice questions, guidelines, checklists, and previous exams to help them prepare students for study and testing. The registration fee is $100 per school regardless of the number of student participants. For more information on school registration, visit https://www.usabo-trc.org.

Approximately twelve thousand students register annually to participate in USABO's national biology exams. CEE's USABO mission concentrates on stimulating intellectual curiosity in young scholars and developing their critical thinking in laboratory skills and biological reasoning to propel them to careers of excellence and leadership in STEM. CEE provides resources for students to prepare for the exam and for exploring biological sciences.

"The USABO is a special community, and the thousands of students who take the exams share similar passions. USABO connects students across the country," said Kathy Frame, USA Biolympiad Director.

All students in grades 9 to 12 are welcome to participate in the USABO. CEE encourages teachers and schools to register and host their students, ensuring a spot for the Open Exam. AP courses are not required for success in the exams. Registration for students ends on November 8, 2024.

USABO is a four-tier series of exams that demands the absolute best of students in biology theoretical and laboratory knowledge. The four gold medalists from USABO's National Finals will represent the U.S. at the 36th International Biology Olympiad in Quezon City, Philippines in July 2025.
