Students will be given weekly assignment sheets that contain daily work to be completed.
It is important that the students work consistently to stay on track. Quizzes are given
in class. At the end of each chapter the student will have a take-home test.
This helps us to utilize class time for teaching and questions. A comprehensive
exam will be given at the end of each semester.
In addition to the class time, students are free to call or e-mail Angela with questions
relating to course work. Students may also come to office hours, which are usually
on Friday mornings.
There are many expenses associated with having the classes in our home. Our goal is to
have the classes be as affordable as possible. The cost of each class is listed with
the course description. To help keep our costs low, we ask that fees be paid by
August 1st. Parents may pay by the semester if they add an additional $50 to the
cost of the course. Second semester fees are due by December 1st. If monthly
payments are needed, we recommend that you begin paying during the spring or summer
so that fees will be paid in full by the due dates. The cost of the classes includes
lab supplies, but does not include books. We search for the best price on books and pass
the savings on to the parents. Typically books cost around $25 for each course. Books
are usually available in July, at which time I will have the exact price as well as the
complete schedule for the year.
Happy Learning,

Class Descriptions
Math classes ($475)
Algebra 1 Thursday 12:30 - 2:00
Prerequisite - Pre-Algebra
Continuing studies in the world of algebra. Scientific calculator required.
Geometry Tuesday 12:30 2:00
This class will use the Discovering Geometry textbook. Students will learn classical
Euclidean geometry, construction, inductive and deductive reasoning, logic and proof.
This is an honors class, which will require consistent daily work. Tools needed
included protractor, compass, straight edge, ruler and scientific calculator.
Algebra 2 Wednesdays 12:30 2:00
Prerequisite - Algebra 1
This course will utilize the Merrill-Glencoe text, which has a focus on application.
A graphing calculator is required.
Advanced Math Wednesdays 9:00 10:30
Pre-requisite - Algebra 2
Precalculus and trigonometry will be studied in this rigorous course.
We will utilize the Advanced Mathematical Concepts Textbook by Merrill.
This course is an excellent preparation for calculus and all advanced math topics.
A graphing calculator is required.
AP Probability & Statistics Tuesdays 9:00 10:30
Prerequisite - Algebra 2
This class will be a great 4th math class for the student not interested in
science and engineering. In addition to probability and statistics other topics
in discrete math will be covered. This course will be very practical and cover
much data analysis. Graphing calculator needed.
AP Calculus AB TBD
Pre-requisite Precalculus and Trig
The Addison Wesley text is used in this rigorous college prep course. Emphasis is on preparing
students for science, math and engineering related studies at the collegiate level.
Graphing calculator required.
Science classes ($600)
Chemistry Wednesdays 2:00 3:30 Lab Thursday 9 - 12
Co-requisite Algebra 2
My favorite science class! In this class we will make sense of the math behind
science and perform experiments to back it up. This is an honors class and has
a co-requisite of Algebra 2 or instructorβs approval.
Physics Wednesdays 10:30 12: 00 Lab Thursday 9 - 12
Co-requisite Algebra 2
Studies in the mechanics of our physical world. This is an honors class.
Biology Tuesdays 2:00 3:30 Lab Thursday 9 - 12
Cellular studies, microscopy, taxonomy, plants, animals and anatomy.
This in-depth study of life will be both rigorous and fun. Lab time
will be more than just show and tell. Dissections will include everything
from the earthworm to the fetal pig.
Physical Science Thursdays 2:00 3:30 Lab Thursday 9 12
This course is an excellent preparation for chemistry and physics. It is both math intensive and hands on.
Anatomy & Physiology Tuesdays 10:30 noon ($475)
Prerequisite Biology
This class is an excellent choice for a 4th science class. We will student the anatomy and function of the human body.
While there is no separate lab for this class, we will have several organ dissections during the regular class time.
