Full year courses encompass two semesters or 32 weeks (16 weeks for the fall semester from Aug. to Dec. and 16 weeks for the spring semester from Jan. to May). For our full year courses, the science curriculum (texts, assignments, laboratory activities, exams, etc.) is managed by our teaching staff. Students complete readings and assignments at home and attend Bright Minds once or twice a week (Concept day and Experiment day) for interactive learning. This structured approach combines hands-on lab experiments and projects on the Experiment Day with discussions and activities on the Concept day, allowing students to apply theory, develop critical thinking, and deepen their scientific understanding. It also provides opportunities to ask questions, review homework, clarify misconceptions, and collaborate with peers. Designed to deliver a high-quality STEM education, this model respects students’ time while fostering independence. For specific course details, please see individual course pages.

Supplemental lab courses are one semester courses that may be used as a stand-alone lab or as a supplement to another science course. Supplemental labs are one semester courses or 16 weeks. For our supplemental labs, only the laboratory portion of the science course is managed by our teaching staff. Please see the individual course pages for course details.
