This year-long high school Spanish course is taught almost entirely in Spanish using an immersion approach—widely recognized as the most effective and engaging way to learn a language. Class time will center on real conversation as we move through the textbook, helping students grow in speaking, listening, vocabulary, grammar, reading, and writing. Homework will be completed using the student activities manual, which includes online audio for continued listening practice. This course is deliberate, dynamic, and designed to build true confidence in Spanish—earning students one high school credit.

for 7th-12th graders

This class introduces young scientists to essential fields of study, including Engineering, Chemistry Earth and Space Science, Life Science, Physics, and Animal Science. At home, students watch engaging videos from Generation Genius, read engaging articles, and complete at-home activities. In the classroom, kids collaborate in dynamic labs and games to reinforce their home learning. This course combines high-energy fun with high-quality content to create a great experience for older elementary school students: making zombie prosthetics, designing and building battery-operated cars, launching rockets, completing crazy chemical reactions, and more! Those who are interested can complete extension assignments when available to seek an extra challenge.

for 4th-6th graders

This is a fantastic course geared towards upper middle school students to help build the foundation for high school physics and chemistry. Students will learn about the structure of an atom, the periodic table and its trends, what determines the reactivity of various substances, different types of reactions, thermodynamics, Newtonian laws, conservation of energy, and more. Some math is required, but it's intended to be more theoretical. There is no textbook for this class, though we pull from various articles, videos, and PHET labs. To answer your child's burning questions: yes, we will be using hydrochloric acid and lighting things on fire. This class is fun! Students must be mature middle-schoolers.

for 6th-8th graders

This course allows students to explore relevant topics such as DNA, cells, genetics, metabolism, and environmental issues while empowering them to make informed decisions and conduct research. Our weekly labs are accompanied by high energy lectures and games to enhance the learning done at home through videos and textbook readings. Our first semester is all about microbiology, where students experiment with calorimetry, DNA isolation, and microscopy, and in the second semester, we dive into the relationships between organisms and their environment, offering a comprehensive learning experience over genetics, physiology, and environmental sciences.

for 9th-10th graders

This course covers the prediction of chemical interactions, subatomic particles, molecular structures, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, gas laws, and thermodynamics. This high-energy class reviews the material learned at home through videos and readings, and are complemented by relevant labs to apply our knowledge and skills.

for 10th-11th graders

Practical Computing is a technical introduction to working with computers for data management and analysis. Students will select a project and pursue it in collaboration with their peers and under the supervision of the instructor. Each team will end the course by presenting their application to the class and publishing their codebase to Github.
