The Chester County Spelling Bee is coordinated by the Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU) and is a qualifying bee for the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The bee is open to all students enrolled in a Chester County public, private, parochial or home school through eighth grade who meet Scripps' requirements for participation and whose schools register with the Chester County Intermediate Unit.

Participating schools will inspire the love of learning and help their students...

• Develop language skills and increase their vocabularies
• Practice poise under pressure
• Strengthen life skills including work ethic
• Build confidence and have fun!

Please note, that we cannot accommodate individual spellers. Registration must be done through the sending school. Please contact us spellingbee@cciu.org to see if your school is enrolled. 

For more information about enrolling homeschooled students, please contact Claudia Joye at CTJoye@gmail.com or 610-524-0296.
