About the Homeschool Track
The homeschool track of the SoTS Physics Lyceum: the full Lyceum curriculum, taught online for homeschool families. Same instructors, same Deep Physics methodology, same evaluation policy as the in-person Lyceum.
The track is shaped for homeschool families: live daytime sessions, cohorts of up to 8, modular semester-by-semester enrollment, and a cumulative Pass/Fail transcript suited to homeschool record-keeping. Both grade bands are available year-round, including summer formats.
Middle School Homeschool Track (Grades 7–8)
The middle school program of the Lyceum, taught online. Four topics, each taught from first principles:
Review prerequisites on the middle school program page.
Available year-round in two formats:
- Paired semester courses (fall and spring). Two topics paired over 16 weeks, twice weekly (1.5h theory + 1.5h seminar). 48 hours total. Two pairings are offered: Mechanics & Thermodynamics; Electricity, Magnetism & Optics.
- Single-topic summer camps. One topic over two weeks, Monday–Friday, 2.5 hours per day. 25 hours total. Four camps offered each summer (Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electricity & Magnetism, Optics).
Cohorts of up to 8. See the middle school program page for the full curriculum and teaching approach.
High School Homeschool Track (Grades 9–12)
The high school program of the Lyceum, taught online. Eight semester-long courses, from Mechanics of Motion through Quantum Mechanics. Largely independent: take one course or all eight, in the order that fits your student's preparation.
Review prerequisites and the prerequisite map on the high school program page.
Available year-round across three semesters:
- Fall and spring. One course over 16 weeks, twice weekly (1.5h theory + 1.5h seminar). 48 hours total.
- Summer. One course over roughly 8 weeks, twice weekly in 3-hour combined sessions. 48 hours total.
Cohorts of up to 8. See the high school program page for full course descriptions and the prerequisite map between courses.
Online Physics Summer Programs for Homeschoolers
Both grade bands run online summer programs for homeschool families: middle school single-topic 2-week camps, and high school semester-long courses in compressed 8-week summer format. See the Middle School and High School sections above for course options, schedule, and pricing.
Online Format and Times
Live video sessions, not recorded. Real cohort, real discussion, real time. Cameras on. No video library, no chatbot, no self-paced module.
Sessions run during weekday daytime hours on Eastern time. Specific meeting times are set when the cohort forms, around the schedules of the enrolled students.
Certificates and Transcripts
Tuition includes one optional Pass/Fail evaluation per course or camp. Students who take the evaluation and pass earn a certificate. Those who earn certificates across more than one course also receive a cumulative transcript, useful for homeschool record-keeping.
Same policy as the rest of the Lyceum. See the Lyceum overview for the full evaluation policy and grading philosophy.
Enrollment
Enrollment is open year-round across three semesters: fall, spring, and summer. Standard refund policy applies; see the middle school or high school program page for full enrollment policy.
