Unless you are a home school with many students, we recommend signing your student(s) up with the Caribou Virtual School. Click on each option for more information.
Caribou Virtual School Home SchoolRegister with the Caribou Virtual School
Registering with the Virtual School is fast and easy. There is no need to create a Coordinator account to register with the Caribou Virtual School. Instead, the Caribou Team is your Caribou Coordinator. The Caribou Virtual School has a super long Contest Time Window to accommodate all time zones, so you can participate when it is convenient for you. Students with the Virtual School can sign in to write the contest at any time on Wednesday or Thursday up until 6:30PM EST on Thursday.
To sign up a student with the Caribou Virtual School :
1) If you have a Voucher: use the Contact Us form : state that you want to register with the Caribou Virtual School and provide your Voucher Code, Student Grade, First name, and Last name.
2) If you do not have a Voucher:
- Go to the Online Shop
- Sign is Someone Else, respond to prompts
- For the student's school, tick the box for No School
- Continue making your purchase and check out
- Once the payment is processed, an Access Code will be created that is registered to the Virtual School
- You will receive a confirmation email containing the Access Code
Create a Caribou Coordinator account as a Home School
This option is better for home schools with many students. It is more work upfront, because it takes time to set up your School and Coordinator (organizer) accounts and read the documentation.
Becoming a Caribou Coordinator is advantageous when organizing the contest for many students at a time: you can set the contest time window for your school, make purchases for more than 1 student at a time, use Contest Day Tools, and view all of your students' results and account information in one place.
If you only have 1 or 2 students, it is better to register with the Caribou Virtual School which requires no setup and has an extra-long time window within which students can access the contests.

If you are running Caribou Contests at more than one school, please create a Coordinator account for each school.
If possible, please use a different email address for each account.
Create a new Caribou Coordinator accountBefore you create your Caribou Coordinator account:
Please note, there can be more than one Caribou Coordinator at a school. However, Coordinators at one school cannot access data from each other's account. Some schools prefer that teachers share a single Coordinator account for this reason.
If your school is not yet on the List of Participating Schools, you will be asked to add it. Once you add it, you may need to restart registration.
If you are registering as a Home School, see the notes below.
