Schools' Challenge is a televised single-elimination quizbowl tournament held for secondary schools in Jamaica. The annual event was first held in 1970.

In the 2020 final, Ardenne won their seventh title by defeating defending champions St. Jago. The most frequent champion is Kingston College with 11 titles.

Some teams reportedly practice for up to 46 hours per week for the event.
