What is ICAS?
ICAS is an online academic competition that gives students the opportunity to challenge their higher order thinking and problem-solving skills in English, Mathematics and Science.
Every student who participates is celebrated and recognised with a printed certificate in each subject area, and an online results report to track their development each year. Top performers are eligible for one of the highly coveted ICAS medals.
