Homeschool parents have told us the same thing from Florida to Washington: “We want real rigor so our son/daughter is ready for college science courses. We also want our teen to learn about the evidence for intelligent design before they get to college.”
If this describes you or someone you know, check out the high school biology and chemistry courses at Discovery Institute Academy. They marry academic excellence with genuine wonder about the design we see in nature.
What Homeschoolers Need — and How We Help
- Qualified, Passionate Teachers
Every class is taught by a certified science instructor who loves the subject. Students aren’t left to slog through online readings and videos alone. They can meet weekly on Zoom for interactive lessons, Q&A, and virtual office hours. Teacher‑written feedback turns assignments into mentoring moments. - A Complete, Ready‑to‑Go Curriculum
We know parents juggle multiple grade levels. So we gathered everything — textbook excerpts, curated articles, engaging YouTube clips, Labster simulations, hands‑on labs you can do at the kitchen table, quizzes, and exams — into one seamless, two‑semester package. Log in, follow the weekly checklist, and you’re done. - Flexibility That Fits Every Schedule
Three tiers let you choose the level of guidance and grading you need:
Tier 1 (fully teacher‑led with graded work), Tier 2 (self‑paced plus weekly drop‑in session), and Tier 3(completely self‑directed). - A Fresh Look at Origins and Design
Many high‑school programs treat chemical and biological evolution as closed topics. We treat them as open questions. From the sudden burst of new body plans in the Cambrian fossil record to the irreducible complexity inside the cell, our courses invite students to weigh the evidence. Is unguided evolution sufficient, or does the data point to an intelligent designer? We think the latter — and we equip students to articulate why.
Why Students Love It
- Interactive Labs: Build DNA models, simulate enzyme reactions, or run a virtual chemistry titration — then compare results live with classmates.
- Real‑World Relevance: Opportunities to learn how biotechnology, medicine, and environmental science rely on the engineered features of living systems.
Early‑Bird Savings — Limited Seats Left
The 2025–26 Biology and Chemistry cohorts begin September 2 and run through May 29. Several seats remain in each section, and early‑bird registration is open until July 31. Use promo codes “bio50” or “chem50” to take $50 off tuition.
