Aim of the class:
This course is an introductory science course that is meant to give your child an overview of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. We will be using Exploring Science 7, a textbook used by many British schools. The course will move at a fast pace as it is meant to cover a full academic year of science over the course of 32 two-hour Saturday courses.
Why this course?
This course was co-developed by our founder Mark Hsu, who obtained a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Stanford University, and Dr. Ivon Jou, our Academic Director, who holds a Bachelor of Medicine from Taipei Medical University. They both observed that intelligent students often give up pursuing advanced studies in the sciences not because they are incapable of mastering the subjects but because they grew frustrated with the subjects too early, often due to a teacher who didn’t spend the time to understand a complex idea. They understand that a fundamental understanding of the basic sciences are essential for future success in STEM fields. Our course aims to prepare students for higher level science classes, keep them engaged and inspired in the basic sciences and most importantly instill confidence in our students in the sciences.
Although targeted at 5th or 6th graders, the content will be similar to the content delivered in a 8th or 9th grade science class under the US system.
