TOEFL Junior Challenge is an annual English competition for junior high school students in Vietnam which uses an international assessment test to evaluate the English proficiency of participating students.

Participants entering the 2nd round of TOEFL Junior Challenge will receive international TOEFL Junior score sheets from ETS which are globally recognized. They can use these score reports to apply for English studying programs, scholarships as well as language exchanges in Southeast Asia and worldwide.
