wed1998 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I would appreciate any reviews of Kolbe Academy science classes for high school. I have a STEM student and I'm looking for rigor. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innisfree Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I was just coming to post about dd's Kolbe chemistry class. She has taken the regular, (OK?) class, not the honors, because she did not have the prereqs for honors. This frustrated her, because she's generally good in science. She's gotten A's and enjoyed the class. She likes the teacher. But... today she was signed up for the SAT Chemistry test, so last night, at last, she looked at the review book I had purchased from the College Board for her. Obviously she should have been reviewing sooner, but it's been a crazy spring here, and she didn't. Turns out that all year long, the teacher has been letting them look up information which the College Board expects them to have memorized. So she is going to have to spend the summer learning all this and take the test in the fall. I am fairly provoked with Kolbe at the moment. I had the impression that these were rigorous classes, and maybe they are at the honors level, but apparently not otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
