The Chester County Spelling Bee is sponsored 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.

As of January 30, 2023, registration for the 2023 Chester County Spelling Bee is closed. 

We cannot accommodate an individual speller. Registration must be done through the sending school. Please contact the school administration where your student is enrolled. 

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

Congratulations to Christian M. from West Chester Area School District for winning this year's Chester County Spelling Bee! As the new champion of the Spelling Bee Champion of Chester County, Christian will represent Chester County at the 2023 Scripps National Spelling Bee in National Harbor, MD.
