Can parents register a child directly?

For the main contest sitting, students write through a school, so ask your school to register first — it takes a school about ten minutes.

If your school isn't taking part this year, your child can still write at a Spirit of Math campus or a partner contest centre. Find one near you on the Contest Centres page, choose your child's grade, and register on that centre's own registration page. You can also nominate your school there and we will invite them to host.

For the Global Round, qualifying families register directly: each qualifying student receives an invitation email with a personal registration link. Both the student and an accompanying parent or guardian must be registered — see "Do parents have to attend the Global Round?"

If there is no school or centre near you, email [email protected] and we will advise the options for your country.
