General
Why TeenEagle?
TeenEagle is an English language skills competition, with the goal of giving every student globally the chance to stand out and test their skills.
What does TeenEagle do?
TeenEagle has two competition rounds: the TeenEagle Online Round and the Global Finals. These competitions work together to make the two stages of our international English competition.
Why should I compete in a TeenEagle competition?
Participants in the Online Round qualify for the Global Finals and they can win discounts to other stages. Moreover, participants in the Global Finals can win discounts to prestigious colleges and universities in the UK, as well as select funded opportunities to work and study over the summer.
Who can participate in a TeenEagle competition?
Students from any country in the world, as long as they’re between 8-18 years old. TeenEagle Online is open to anyone in this category–our Global Finals require a participant to have earned over 40% on an Online Round.
Is TeenEagle too much work for teachers and students who already have their time occupied fully?
TeenEagle is designed to take into consideration how much work and how many commitments these teachers and students already have. Preparation time is estimated to be between one to four weeks for TeenEagle Online and Global Finals. Our team supports students with lots of live events, online practice sessions, education and training, etc. to prepare for the upcoming competitions.
TeenEagle Global Finals
What is the TeenEagle Global Finals Round?
The TeenEagle Global Finals is the second stage of our English Language competitions. Students travel to some of the world’s most unique and multinational cities for a trip covering four competitions in persuasive speaking, writing, knowledge, and spelling.
Where and when are the Global Finals Rounds?
For information on specific Global Finals Rounds, you can go to the Global Finals Page or our Downloads. However, at least one Global Finals Round will take place in the heart of London.
What are some of the benefits that come with being a Global Finals Participant?
TeenEagle is an international organisation supported by universities located in the UK. Participants in grades 12-13 (UK system) will get discounts to one of these universities. All participants in grades 7-13 will receive a 25% discount to Brooke House College, if they decide to study in the UK.
Do I need a supervisor to compete in a Global Finals Round?
Yes, a supervisor is needed; for academic and legal reasons, we limit registration for supervisors only to teachers or staff members of your specific school.
Can I come to a Global Finals Round with a parent, or do I need a supervisor?
Parents are not accepted as supervisors. We would like to foster independence and make international bonds, and we wish to make it a truly academic experience.
What can I win at a TeenEagle Global Finals Round?
All participants receive a participation certificate and a report card, as well as certain awards:
- 40 to 59.9% receives an Honourable Mention Medal and Certificate;
- 60 to 74.9% receives a Bronze Medal and Certificate;
- 75 to 89.9% receives a Silver Medal and Certificate;
