Age Divisions
All of the competitions are generally divided into 3 to 4 age divisions, which for the 2024-2025 academic year are divided as follows:
| Division | Ages |
| Varsity | For students born on or before 31 August 2008 |
| Junior Varsity | For students born from 1 September 2008 to 31 August 2010 |
| Middle School | For students born from 1 September 2010 to 31 August 2012 |
| Elementary | For students born on or after 1 September 2012 |
If a sufficient number of students sign up who are eligible for younger division classifications in any Bee event for the Asian Championships, IAC reserves the right to add additional divisions, for instance, splitting the Elementary Division (for students born after 31 August, 2012) into the Intermediate (for students born from 1 September, 2012 to 31 August, 2014), Elementary School (for students born from 1 September, 2014 to 31 August, 2016, and Beginner Division (for students born after 31 August, 2016).
