Age Divisions
All of the competitions are generally divided into 3 to 5 age divisions, which for the 2025-2026 academic year are divided as follows:
| Division | Ages |
| Varsity | For students born on or before 31 August 2009 |
| Junior Varsity | For students born from 1 September 2009 to 31 August 2011 |
| Middle School | For students born from 1 September 2011 to 31 August 2013 |
| Elementary | For students born on or after 1 September 2013 |
If a sufficient number of students sign up who are eligible for younger division classifications in any Bee events, IAC reserves the right to add additional divisions, for instance, splitting the Elementary Division (for students born after 31 August, 2013) into the Intermediate (for students born from 1 September, 2013 to 31 August, 2015), Elementary School (for students born from 1 September, 2015 to 31 August, 2017, and Beginner Division (for students born after 31 August, 2017).
