Certificates and Transcripts

Every Physics Lyceum student builds a cumulative academic record. Students may earn certificates for individual physics courses, certificates for research training, and broader Certificates of Mastery for completing defined parts of the Lyceum program.

The Transcript

Every enrolled student has a cumulative transcript beginning with their first course or Research Lab. It records completed Physics Lyceum coursework, research training, and certificates earned, and is available on request.

Students and homeschool families may use completed Lyceum courses individually on a high school transcript or as part of a broader physics sequence.

Certificates

Lyceum Course Certificate

Issued for each Physics Lyceum course in which a student passes the optional Pass/Fail evaluation.

The evaluation is based on demonstrated understanding and the instructor's assessment of the student's work. Tuition includes one evaluation per course. Course Certificates are available for both middle school and high school courses.

Certificate of Research Training

Issued to students who successfully complete a Physics Lyceum Research Lab and meet its research and participation requirements.

Research Labs are the research component of the Physics Lyceum, designed for students who want to go beyond coursework and develop a deeper understanding of physics through original research.

Certificates of Mastery

High school students can earn broader Lyceum credentials by completing defined combinations of coursework and research.

Lyceum Certificate of Mastery in Classical Physics

Earned by completing the six classical core Course Certificates:

  • Mechanics of Motion
  • Mechanics of Bodies and Fluids
  • Waves and Oscillations
  • Thermodynamics
  • Electricity & Magnetism
  • Geometric Optics

Lyceum Certificate of Mastery in Classical and Modern Physics

Earned by completing the six classical core certificates plus any two Modern Physics electives:

  • Special Relativity
  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Fundamental Interactions and Particles
  • Physics of the Cosmos

Lyceum Certificate of Mastery in Classical and Modern Physics, with Research

Earned by completing the Classical and Modern Physics requirements above, together with the required Research Lab experience.

This credential recognizes the fullest Physics Lyceum pathway, combining advanced physics coursework with authentic research.
