Two Introductory Courses coming in late December, just in time for a Spring 2025 start!
The Introductory High School Chemistry and High School Physics courses are perfect for students who want to get a head start on their chemistry or physics journey, or those looking to strengthen their understanding before diving into a full-year course.
It is ideal for:
Students who want to prepare for high school chemistry and need a comprehensive introduction to core topics.
Homeschool families seeking a flexible, structured chemistry curriculum to complete at their own pace.
Learners who need a refresher or review before taking on AP Chemistry or other advanced science courses.
Students who are comfortable in Algebra 1.
