Apologia’s award-winning high school science curriculum was designed so students would enjoy learning. Actually, we want them to be fascinated by it, totally in awe of God’s Creation. We designed our high school curriculum to equip students with lifelong essential logical and practical skills as they practice observation, research, and experimentation.
Your high school student will have the opportunity to dive deep into biology, chemistry, physics, advanced biology, health and nutrition, and more.
Skills that teach logic, observation, and inquiry extend into everyday life circumstances; students grasp that their lives are also meant to be structured and purposeful. Studying science also teaches students that there is order in our universe, and once they start to understand that order, science will not be a class but rather a means to understanding everything about them.
The homeschool high school science courses designed by Apologia are there to help your students understand, evaluate, and participate in the discoveries that occur during their lifetime, ultimately becoming competent adults capable of making wise decisions for themselves, their families, and their communities.

The following Apologia courses could be considered honors if a student has demonstrated good knowledge of the prerequisite subject matter and desires to go deeper into a particular advanced subject matter:
Our grade level courses could be considered honors if students perform and document ALL experiments and textbook work. Typically, an honors course adds new materials to the existing course. We recommend using the corresponding student notebooks for honors courses because our notebooks add additional content to the textbook curriculum. Otherwise, these general courses are considered rigorous college preparatory courses:
On our course sequence, you will notice that Physical Science is recommended as an 8th grade course. We do, however, believe it is a strong enough course to be used for high school credit in 9th grade. Ultimately it is the parent’s decision as to whether they use this curriculum for 8th or 9th grade, and we support that choice either way.
