FULL SCIENCE COURSES:
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 the readings and assignments at home, then come to Bright Minds twice weekly for a combination of lectures, discussion, interactive activities, projects, and laboratory experiments. Please see the individual course pages for course details.
