Junior School Olympiad Key Information

Anyone who has worked with children knows how interested they are in ethical and philosophical questions. “Why” questions are common and while they often display a refreshing inquisitiveness, children often lack the skills to put forward a reasoned argument or critique an argument. Children need opportunities to engage in ethical and moral issues developmentally and in a safe and structured environment.

As was the case in 2025 we are hosting Junior Olympiads in June & September 2026. Any school can enter the Ethics Olympiad. Schools can enter one or two teams, each team with up to five students. Note: schools can only register for one of these seven dates. Fill in your details below to secure a place for your school. We will get back to you with the cases and information kits for you and your students after your registration has been received.
