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
As a parent, you want your student to be confident they can gain the knowledge and skills needed to accomplish whatever they want in life. This course guides students to level-up their learning abilities in two challenging and rewarding areas of science: chemistry and earth science.
Mentors in this course help students learn what sets Earth apart from other planets in the universe. Through hands-on projects and experiments, students learn to identify the chemical building blocks that make up Earth and distinguish them from substances found on other planets. The course wraps up with a project where students collect and organize scientific data and share it with professional scientists to expand humanity’s knowledge of the world.
As a result of completing this course, students feel an increased appreciation for Earth’s uniqueness and are more ready than ever to tackle new learning adventures in high school and beyond.
