Colleges want to see lab science on a homeschool transcript. Most parents can't build that at the kitchen table — a working scientist can.
Not a video license, not a worksheet mill. The same scientist who forecasts on Miami television teaches every lesson — with on-air stories your student won't get anywhere else.
The flagship year includes 14 documented labs with report sheets and rubrics, 7 writing assignments, 2 cumulative exams, and a capstone: your student delivers an actual weathercast.
Syllabus, documented hours, grade weighting, and a fillable Completion Report — everything you need to award the credit with confidence, the way homeschool credit actually works.
What your student will study
Tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, ice storms, earthquakes, volcanoes — taught as real science by someone who covers them for a living.
