The Spelling Bee is:

  • Held at Wayland High School between 12:00pm and 4:30pm. Each team is assigned a 35 minute timeslot in which they will compete with 5 to 8 other teams in the same grade. (The specific timeslot for each team will be posted to the website in early March. Please note that we are not able to accommodate requests to participate at specific times.)
