ACE membership gives students access to recognized academic competitions in mathematics, science, and more — alongside mentorship, tours, and year-round programming. These aren't just contests. They're credentials, experiences, and proof of what you're capable of.
The competitions listed below are available to ACE members throughout the 2026–2027 academic year. ACE helps students identify the right competitions for their grade and interest, prepares them through practice and mentorship, and supports the registration process. Participation is optional and based on each student's goals and eligibility.
The AMC series is one of the most respected mathematics competition pathways in North America, organized by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). It promotes mathematical problem-solving and identifies talented students at every level. Strong performers may qualify for the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) — a gateway to the USA Mathematical Olympiad.
TIMO is an international mathematics competition open to students from Grade 2 through Grade 12. The competition runs in two stages: a preliminary round conducted locally in participating countries, followed by a global final round that brings together top performers from around the world. TIMO emphasizes problem-solving, logical reasoning, and mathematical creativity across all grade levels.
An international academic competition that encourages excellence in Mathematics and Science, established by the Albert Einstein Global Academy. Open to students from Grade 1 through Grade 12, with a prestigious global final held in Berlin, Germany.
An annual competition designed to assess students' knowledge and understanding of biological sciences. The NBC challenges high school students to apply biological concepts across a wide range of topics, from cell biology to ecology. A strong foundation for students considering medicine, life sciences, or research pathways.
Offered by the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Waterloo, the SIN Contest encourages interest and achievement in physics at the senior high school level. The University of Waterloo is internationally recognized for its STEM programs and competition tradition.
The Avogadro Chemistry Contest challenges students to apply chemistry concepts and problem-solving skills in a competitive setting. It covers topics including organic chemistry, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, and analytical reasoning — ideal preparation for students interested in chemistry, engineering, or medicine.
ADEPT is an international competition designed to recognize and encourage diverse student talents across multiple disciplines. It spans the full range from Kindergarten to Grade 12, making it one of the most inclusive competition platforms available. The international finals are held in Hong Kong and Fukuoka, Japan — offering students a genuinely global academic experience and the chance to represent Canada on an international stage.
