Bring Academic Marathon to Your School
Create a school-branded Academic Marathon event that challenges students, strengthens academic culture, and connects results to international recognition.
Follow Your School Calendar
School-hosted marathon events use school-arranged timelines
To organize its own school-branded Academic Marathon event, a school must first be authorized by International Academic Marathon for the selected subject. Once authorized, the school sets its event date, registration window, campus instructions, and student preparation schedule based on its academic calendar.
Event deadline: Schools may choose any event date that works for their calendar, as long as the school marathon is completed by June 30, 2027.
Students should follow the official school calendar and school coordinator instructions for all school-hosted marathon events.
How the Model Works
- The school organizes the local school-branded marathon event
- International Academic Marathon provides the testing and scoring infrastructure
- Student performance data is recorded in the official event database
- Certified results support school awards and end-of-season global rankings

Academic Endurance

Confidence and Focus
Schools help students prepare toward a clear goal, building a student body that is more focused, more confident, and more aware of what it can accomplish.
