About This Opportunity
The Hippo English Olympiad is a global competition organized by the Global Hippo Association, a non-profit organization based in Italy. It aims to promote the English language, challenge students globally, and foster cooperation among teachers. The Olympiad encourages the development of a shared identity and integration, serving as a role model for young people living together as one community.
It also provides students with an opportunity to measure their English proficiency against international standards and become familiar with examination concepts.
This competition is open to students aged 6-19 from around the world, including India. Participants are divided into various categories based on their school grades and CEFR levels, ranging from Baby Hippo (Grade 1-2) to Hippo 5 (Grade 12-13).
