International Academic Competitions is delighted to announce that the 2025 International History Olympiad will take place in Paris, France from July 20-26! This will be the first time the Olympiad is held in France, and we are excited about the innumerable opportunities for sightseeing and competitions that the incomparable city of Paris has to offer. Additionally, IAC is planning on organizing a pre-trip to Normandy and Brittany for three days on July 16-18. July 19 will be the arrival and check-in date for the Olympiad; families taking part in the pre-trip will have an extra day in Paris at their disposal. Then, after the Olympiad concludes on the evening of the 26th, we are planning on a week-long post-tour departing Paris around noon on July 27 for the South of France.
Registration will open for the Olympiad by November 25 once a program of events has been posted and the host school arrangements have been finalized. We anticipate that registration for the pre and post-trips will open by December 25 after our staff spends much of December scouting out the trip destinations and hotels. Please check this website periodically as more information will be posted to it on a rolling basis in the months leading up to the Olympiad. For all questions, please contact us at olympiad@iacompetitions.com. Merci beaucoup pour votre attention, and we look forward to welcoming you to the 2025 International History Olympiad next summer!
