ICAS is the internationally-recognised gold-standard academic competition that gives students the opportunity to showcase their academic skills on a national stage.
More than 10 million students from 16,000 schools have experienced a wonderful sense of pride, accomplishment and achievement through their participation.
We invite your school to be part of the ICAS 2025 academic competition.
ICAS encourages students to push their boundaries and strive for higher achievements, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and excellence.
ICAS offers students the opportunity to benchmark skills and knowledge against national standards to identify strengths and gain valuable insights.
ICAS challenges students to develop essential problem-solving skills that are crucial for their academic and future professional success.
ICAS recognises and rewards student accomplishments with prestigious certificates and medals, boosting confidence and motivation.
ICAS assessments are crafted to push students beyond the day-to-day application of the curriculum.
They reward those who can analyse and solve complex problems using creativity, imagination, and the application of classroom knowledge in new contexts.
Competition questions are developed by psychometricians, education measurement experts, and experienced teachers.
These questions are designed to stretch students and keep high-potential learners challenged and engaged, complementing existing enrichment programs.
ICAS questions continually evolve to reflect student interests and maintain engagement.
This ensures that students remain motivated and excited about their ICAS experience.
We know how busy you are, and we value your time and resources. Here’s a few of the ways we support schools every step of the way to ensure the ICAS experience is as smooth and efficient as possible:
We’ll help you with everything from registrations and logistics.
We’ll help you understand and be confident in the entire process.
We’ll provide templates to help you keep parents and students informed.
We’ll give parents instant access to results when they are available.
This inaugural initiative reinforces our commitment to supporting schools and championing academic excellence and growth. It offers students opportunities to explore their potential while providing schools with valuable resources to foster academic achievement.

With PPS, there is no cost to schools.
Firstly, you set up PPS and receive a unique code to share with parents. Then Parents register and pay for their child’s ICAS participation directly using their school’s PPS code
This eliminates the need for your school to handle money collection or data imports, saving you time and administrative effort.
For this method, you register students and pay on their behalf.
Some schools seek reimbursement from parents, while others purchase for full classes/cohorts and make use of the data to shape learning programs, guide class allocations and strengthen reporting.
While this option may require more administrative work, including managing student data and manually assigning assessments, it offers direct control over the enrolment process.
Every student who participates in ICAS deserves recognition for their effort and dedication.
By awarding certificates to all participants and medals to the highest achievers, we honour each student’s unique journey and achievements.
This inclusive approach emphasises that every effort counts.
ICAS is available for Years 2 – 12 in Australia and Years 3 – 13 in New Zealand.
