USABO is a four-tier competition that demands the very best of 9-12 grade students in biology theoretical and laboratory knowledge. Since CEE began administering the USABO, every member of the “USA Biolympiad Team” has medaled at the International Biology Olympiad. The registration fee is $95 per school regardless of the number of student participants. 


Both RSI and USABO were held virtually in 2020. The programs received national and international recognition.
