The PAGE Georgia Academic Decathlon, which began in 1987, focuses on the importance of developing well-rounded individuals in Georgia high schools and provides an antidote to intellectual apathy and underachievement. This program provides incentive for average students, underachieving students, above-average students as well as academically talented students, to become interested in intellectual activities. Academic Decathlon coaches often observe significant gains in student achievement among students who participate in the program. Monthly podcasts are created primarily for students and coaches of the PAGE Georgia Academic Decathlon to highlight the work of teams statewide and to provide information and tips on how teams can become more competitive at the state and national levels.
