Practice your business knowledge by participating in our academic competitions for high school students.
Wharton Global Youth’s Competitions are free and designed to challenge and engage high school students across various interests and disciplines. Our competitions provide high school students with the opportunity to develop new skills, foster teamwork, and extend their passion for business education beyond the classroom. Great activities to supplement teachers’ related curricula and clubs, including lesson plans. .
“One thing I learned throughout the competition was, no matter how good your skills are individually, what matters most is the team that you’re working with. Having a team with a diverse array of skills will prove to be more helpful than any other factors.”
