About IEOF
An olympiad built around access, not exclusivity
International English Olympiad Foundation exists to close the gap between what students learn in an English classroom and the international recognition available to them.
Our mission
To nurture English language excellence and communication confidence in young learners, and to create opportunities that reach every child rather than only the well-resourced ones.
Our vision
To become the world's most impactful English Olympiad foundation by making genuinely high-quality assessment accessible to students everywhere.
Our commitment
Inclusivity, sustainability and equity — from the offline exam format to fee waivers, every design decision is checked against whether it widens or narrows access.
