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. Registration must be done through the sending school.
This year, Scripps Spelling Bee's new online testing platform has created a way for us to offer the Chester County Spelling Bee virtually no matter what pandemic safety measures are in place! Whether your students are learning in the classroom or learning remotely, you can conduct both classroom- and school-level competitions with Scripps Spelling Bee's online platform in order to determine your school's representative for the virtual Chester County Spelling Bee.
