The mission of the International English Olympiad Foundation is to stimulate a more positive global perspective by educating young people about language through a competitive environment that emphasises clarity and clear message delivery. The vision of the International English Olympiad Foundation is to promote a dynamic global environment of learning by providing a competitive platform for youth to engage positively and constructively. The English Olympiad Foundation was founded by the Science Olympiad Foundation in 2014, with its first official English competition taking place in October 2014. The competition continues through the year with the International English Olympiad at the end of each year.
