Online Science Classes for Homeschool Families

-- All class times are listed as Eastern Time (ET)

Yes, for all live online science classes. We have developed interactive virtual online labs ($90 value) that are part of our live online classes, with no additional cost to students.

This enables students to conduct highly realistic online labs. Most public and private schools now use virtual labs. Students can perform tasks in the lab. It's a very realistic experience for students who can participate in many labs not typically available to high school students before college. This is very interactive - it's NOT watching a video.

Students can pour liquids virtually, light burners, move objects in the lab, weigh items, measure temperatures, record results, and more. Most students love these labs. There are no supplies to purchase or smelly dissections - EVERYTHING is done online. Students are instructed on how to produce high-quality lab reports, and they submit formal lab reports (one for each lab experiment), which are then graded.

We typically open registration with an early registration discount. That discount decreases every week and ends in April. I'm sorry but we don't offer sibling discounts.

Biology, chemistry, and physics online classes are standard level high school level classes that are less rigorous than "honors" classes, and they are specifically designed to be interesting and appealing to "non-science" or "non-math" students - students who may sometimes struggle with science or math.

It provides students with a solid foundation and a basic understanding of the subject. It prepares them for life, enabling them to move into adulthood with a keen understanding and appreciation of God's magnificent creation. It is similar in intensity, depth, and scope to a standard public or private high school class, but taught from a Christian worldview and created specifically to be interesting and appealing to "non-science" / "non-math" students.

​

The depth, breadth, and pedagogy of many "honors" or "college prep" science classes leave many "non-science" or "non-math" students frustrated, uninterested, and ultimately learning very little. I find that students in this situation often miss the big picture and lack an overall understanding of the subject matter, which is crucial in these classes. They can't see the forest for the trees. My "life prep" standard-level classes enable students to see the forest and will allow them to learn science through the lens of their God-given interests and talents.

​

• We use Canvas (considered by many to be one of the best online class platforms) as a virtual "homeroom" for a student's online class....

​

• Classes meet for 45-60 minutes once per week in our online "classroom" in Canvas. Students can see and hear the teacher (Professor Landry) and the classroom whiteboard, and can communicate with the teacher via chat in class. Students can attend the live class or watch the class recording 24/7.

​

• Students can also communicate with Professor Landry via our class homeroom email outside of class. He prioritizes email from students and responds in a timely manner - usually within a few hours and always at least within the same day.

​

• Students have a weekly homework turn-in assignment that they turn in at their "homeroom" in Canvas.

​

• Students perform very realistic labs (for science classes) in our virtual online lab and write lab reports, which are turned in and graded at their "homeroom" in Canvas. They don't need any supplies - everything is done online. Professor Landry is obsessive about teaching students to write quality lab reports.

​

• Students take graded exams (approximately once every three weeks) at their "homeroom" in Canvas.

​

• Students' grades for homework, lab reports, and exams are available to them in the Canvas grade book in their "homeroom" as well as their current overall grade for the class.

​

• Students are issued a final grade at the end of the class.

• Students are provided with a PDF of the textbook free of charge as part of the class.

• Students are taught by Greg Landry, a 20-year veteran homeschool dad and former college professor. Greg is a Christian and young Earth creationist. He has taught and mentored thousands of homeschooled students and college students in various capacities for over 20 years. Click here to see his bio.
