Stride National Spelling Bee
Students in grades 3-12 have been competing for a spot in the final since Stride’s series of school-based, state, and regional spelling competitions began in January. All early rounds of the Stride Spelling Bee take place as live virtual events open to any student who chooses to compete, regardless of their location or where they attend school. The national final is the only in-person session throughout the competition. Stride will bring the regional winners to the Washington DC-area for a shot at the coveted title.
Highlights of this year’s competition:
Finalists and their parents will receive an all-expenses paid trip to the Washington DC-area final
The finalists will travel to Herndon, VA from eleven online and brick-and-mortar schools, including nine Stride K12-powered online public schools and K12 Private Academy.
Two of this year’s finalists have previously competed in the Stride National Spelling Bee, including the 2021 Stride Spelling Bee Elementary School and High School Champions:
Washington Virtual Academy fourth grade student Ilyannie Robelle Tuason Gonzalez
Arkansas Virtual Academy eleventh grade student Kade Harris
The national champions at the elementary, middle, and high school levels will each receive a $2,500 Amazon gift card and a state-of-the-art gaming platform furnished by CDW.
