Virginia Science Olympiad

Congratulations to the teams representing Virginia on an outstanding performance at the 2026 National Tournament!

Our teams showed off their Virginia spirit at the Parade of States during the Opening Ceremony of the National Tournament! Wish them luck for the competition tomorrow!

Hello, new season! 👋 The 2027 event slate is here - check out the events rotating in this fall.

🎉 Huge congratulations to 10 of our VAVA Elementary students (grades 3–5) who competed at VASO’s Division A Regional Science Olympiad on April 18! 🐝

Our students earned medals in every event they entered, including a 🥇 1st place and multiple 🥈 2nd place finishes across build events and a written test. This was our elementary school’s first time competing, with only 3 months of preparation, and they competed against talented schools from across the state! 🔬🏅 Go, BEES!!

🌟 Science Olympiad Success! 🌟

We are incredibly proud to celebrate our amazing Legacy students who represented our school at the Science Olympiad! Their hard work, teamwork, and passion for science truly shined. Legacy students got 1st position in 9 events.👏
