Academic Decathlon

Established in 1989, the National Academic Junior High Decathlon is a spirit-filled contest that strives to bring forth the cognitive talents of Catholic students in grades 6 through 8.  Students first compete at a regional level in subject areas that include Literature, Math, Social Studies, Science, Religion, Fine Arts, Math, and Current Events, with winning teams and individuals advancing to the national competition. 

As part of the Diocese of Orange, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School, located in the foothills of Yorba Linda, is dedicated to developing students from preschool through 8th grade as Christ-centered individuals with an academic focus.
