STEM Program
If you want the personal connection of an excellent brick-and-mortar classroom combined with the flexibility of online learning for your student, choose this option. Our signature live online courses are the heart of the Williamsburg program, led by expert mentors who create a deep sense of community between students. Live courses include the following benefits:
In many live courses, we offer both a Classic and Honors format. Students in both versions meet in the same live class sessions, but students in Honors courses have about 30% more readings and assignments, including projects that are more challenging. Students are welcome to enroll in whichever version fits best for them and can switch within the first twenty-one days of the semester. Honors courses are not available in the self-paced format.
If your student works well independently or needs more flexibility to work around other
activities, our self-paced courses are an ideal option and provide a richer, more personal experience than many other asynchronous online courses. Self-paced courses include the following benefits:
In high school Math, Fine Arts, PE, and Electives, we offer independent courses so students can earn academic credit for learning from a third-party curriculum provider. Some students prefer alternative math programs; others put in long hours practicing musical instruments, competing on an athletic team, or participating in internships. Students can earn credit for these and other activities by enrolling in an Independent Studies course, provided they fulfill the course requirements (see the above course links for full details).
Why This Class
Your student has a natural fascination with the world, and you want to nurture their curiosity. This course is designed to level-up your student’s sense of wonder at the natural world by taking them on a guided journey through the fundamentals of earth science and physics.
Through projects, in-class experiments, and discussions, students explore the relationship between forces in our universe and the energy flow between living organisms and inanimate objects. Mentors help students trace the flow of energy from the Sun to Earth by investigating food chains, habitats, ecosystems, and biomes. Students also discover how electricity and magnetism work and how we utilize those forces.
By completing the projects in this course students become more intrigued than ever by the interconnectedness of life on Earth and the unseen forces surrounding us. These projects will motivate students to take responsibility as stewards of their planet.
