Level 1

Level 1 is open to students in grades 4-6. It focuses on developing fundamental geographic knowledge and skills and igniting passion in students’ early academic careers. Students participate in the Classroom and School rounds, finishing the competition by naming one School Champion.

All questions in the Classroom and School rounds are multiple choice and cover an array of geographic topics. There are 50 questions provided for each test. 

All School Champions receive a certificate, a special issue publication and/or map from Canadian Geographic, and a one-year magazine subscription to the Canadian Geographic magazine.
