Christian Schools of Florida (CSF) Student Competitions

Each year, CSF sponsors student competitions in spelling and math. Two spelling competitions are held, one in the southern part of the state, and one in the central/northern part of the state, and two math competitions are held, also in the same parts of the state.

All CSF schools may participate by sending two teams to the math and two teams to the spelling competitions. Team One is comprised of students from grades 3-5. Team Two is comprised of students from grades 6-8. Each competition has a first place, second place and third place winner for each team.

Participation forms are found on this website. Please complete, include registration fees, and mail to the appropriate host school by the end of November.
