Scholars Online Science curriculum
OverviewThe Science CurriculumFAQsProgram Design

The Scholars Online Science Program provides a unique opportunity for students to pursue an integrated science education in which the fundamentals of biology, chemistry, physics, and astronomy are set in their historical and cultural contexts and taught from the classical Christian education perspective that studying nature gives us insights to the mind of God the Designer, and prepares us to accept our responsibility as stewards of His creation.

The curriculum is coordinated so that students completing each course cover

All classes involve online chat sessions, in-class reports, textbook reading assignments, homework preparation, frequent quizzes, semester examinations, and email feedback. Natural Science is supplemented by a range of web-based readings. The Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Astronomy use standard textbooks and multimedia materials that include CDROM-based animations, videos, and interactive quizzes and exercises.

Individual courses

Courses are listed the recommended order. Grade levels indicate those grades at which students usually have the required mathematical skills. (Click on small triangle next to course name to expand listing and review course description, meeting and homework expectations, instructor, and links to further information.)

We are working with teachers to determine course offerings for 2008. If you would like to see a couse not yet listed, please let the current teacher know, or use the EMAIL US link below to contact Scholars Online Administration with your course request.

After April 1, 2008, course information for 2006 will no longer appear on these pages, but will be available from the student's unofficial transcript, which can be reached from your Account Management Center.
