We are homeschooling parents too and we know the struggle to find high quality, secular science curricula that’s easy to implement at home and exciting for kids. We didn’t want our kids to just watch science videos. We wanted them to experience the labs and learn by doing. We dreamed of a class where students got the chance to experience all the messy experiments, have access to science materials that are hard to justify buying for a one-time experiences and to learn in a collaborative environment. When we couldn’t find it we decided to make this a cornerstone offering at our program.
Our classes provide a chance for students to dive deep into science content in a hands-on, engaging way guided by an expert science educator. Students enjoy real-time problem-solving with their peers. Classes cover a range of topics over all three trimesters and year to year, ensuring students are getting exposed to biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science and are prepared for whatever their next step is.
