Written for
students with a passion for the sciences, this rigorous program will prepare
students well for college level Science courses. Providing an accelerated scope
and sequence, and course pacing, this program covers all the concepts in the Novare General Chemistry text at a greater depth and adds
additional topics including thermochemistry and kinetics, chemical equilibrium,
and an introduction to organic chemistry. Exercises are abundant and help
students master the material. Due to the rigorous nature of this program, it is
recommended that Algebra II be taken concurrently. Physics is a pre-requisite.
If your student has taken Biology and not Physics, it is highly recommended the
Novare Chemistry
Supplement be used
to prepare them for the course. It is also assumed students understand the SI
system of units and unit prefixes and can demonstrate proficiency with unit
conversions and computations. A short tutorial is available in the appendix. In
the Novare Science High School
Accelerated Pathway,
this course follows Accelerated Studies in
Physics and Chemistry.
The course is written from a God-centered worldview that understands current
scientific theories to be compatible with a belief in God’s creation. Required
resources include the Student Edition Textbook, Digital Resources, Solutions
Manual, and an Experiment Book. There are two options to add lab experiments to
meet your high school transcript requirements: Chemistry Experiments for High School at Home written for homeschools or schools
without a standard lab facility or the Chemistry
Experiments for High School for schools or other facilities with
standard lab equipment and lab space available. Optional and valuable resources
include the General Chemistry Lab Kit which offers most supplies for the Chemistry Experiments for High School at Home and the Student Lab Handbook.

Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.
