Happy Parents & Thriving Young Scientists

Quotes

We LOVED Exploring Creation with Botany last year when my kids were then in K, 1st, and 3rd grade. I love that I could use it across the grade levels and adapt the textbook to their level. I also used the notebooking journal along with it…exceptional.

Quotes

I was never much a fan of science class growing up and believed it would be drudgery forever. As a homeschool mom I really struggled to find a curriculum that not only worked for my children, but for me, their teacher. I knew if I couldn’t be engaged, they couldn’t be either. But we are three days into Exploring Creation with Zoology 1, and I find myself excited to teach the lesson and answer questions. In some ways, I’m learning right alongside my kids but we’re all loving it. Thank you, Apologia!

Quotes

We have the Exploring Creation with Astronomy textbook and notebook. We all have really enjoyed it, and I have learned so much along with them. I like being able to share a science book with them that shows that the heavens really do declare the glory of God. There have been so many neat tidbits of info along that way that we have all found very interesting. The notebooks are great! And the experiments are fun.

Quotes

My favorite part is it points to God, our Creator. The notebooking journals are an awesome way for our kids to process and show what they are learning and in their own way! It was exciting to learn so many new things.

Online Homeschool FAQs

  • Are Apologia’s Online Classes Accredited?

    Apologia offers individual courses, not a full-service diploma program. Accreditation typically applies to schools or complete programs. Many families across the U.S. count Apologia courses for high-school credit by maintaining their own homeschool records. We provide syllabi and grades to support your transcript, but each homeschool family is responsible for creating their own student transcripts.

  • What’s the Difference Between a Live Class and a Self-Paced Course?

    Live classes: Instructor-led classes on a schedule, with instructor-graded work and class recordings.

    Self-Paced Courses: All-in-one online course you start anytime with digital text, audio, video lessons, and auto-graded tests.

    Choose the approach that best fits your student’s learning style and your family routine.

  • Can My Student Start Mid-Year?

    Yes, for self-paced courses, you can start whenever you’re ready and move at your own speed within the access window. Live classes follow a class calendar and run from August to May

  • How Much Parent Involvement Is Required?

    Live classes shift grading and instruction to the instructor; parents primarily oversee class calendar scheduling and support.

    Self-paced courses automate test grading and provide clear pacing guides; parents typically verify written work, labs, and overall progress and view assessment grades in the online portal.

  • Do You Offer Recordings If We Miss a Live Class?

    Yes. Live class sessions are recorded and made available to enrolled students for review and catch-up during the term.

  • How Do Tests and Grading Work?

    In live classes, instructors grade tests, quizzes, papers, and major assignments, returning feedback to help students grow. In self-paced courses, online tests are auto-graded with immediate results; parents generally review written or lab assignments.
