What is Owlypia?
Owlypia is an exciting international competition for students aged 9-11 (OWLINS), aged 12-14 (OWLETS) and 15-18 (OWLYS). Owlypia aims to inspire intellectual curiosity in every young mind and has a central theme each year. Owlypia was founded in 2017 by Perceptum Education, a certified Social Enterprise based in London, UK. In Owlypia, students can participate in three competitions:
- Owlypia Online
- Owlypia Locals (Onsite / Virtual)
- Owlypia Globals (Onsite / Virtual)
And as Horizon International School we are honoured to host the Owlypia Locals Virtual
By participating in the Owlypia competitions in five different subject areas, young intellectuals share their creative ideas, develop their multi-disciplinary academic skills, unlock their potential, build self- confidence, develop collaborative teamwork skills and create new friendships.

Owlypia has five subjects, which are Social Sciences, Art & Design, Literature & Culture, Science & Technology and Economics & Business. If you enjoy thinking, writing and talking in a social and academically stimulating environment then, this is the challenge for you!
