What is PSIA?
PSIA stands for Private Schools Interscholastic Association and is for first through eighth grade students. It is the equivalent of academic competitions like TAPPS in Upper School or UIL competitions in public schools.
Why PSIA?
Statistical research has shown that students who participate in academic extracurricular activities score higher on achievement and assessment tests than those who do not participate in such academic programs. We have also found that participants whose parents are actively involved in working with their children in extracurricular academic programs have the greatest success in competition, as well as in their future academic studies.
