Starstar Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Hi, I need recommendation in enrolling my daughter in a chemistry class. There are couple of options: 1. The virtual high school $999 2. Well Trained Mind Chemistry with Alicia Knickerbocker 3. Chemadvantage.com has a link on left that takes to http://www.clovervalleychemistry.com/ which offers both regular and honors chemistry class. Does anyone has any experience through any of the above classes? She will be doing learning of chemistry as an after-school activity. Also if you have success with any other online classes who can assign work and also grade her work will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!

Thank you so much in advance! I only have experience with ChemAdvantage, so hopefully others will chime in with more information. ChemAdvantage is a fantastic course, but it is an AP class and the vast majority of kids will already have taken a regular chemistry class. I don't think it would be a good fit since you are looking for a regular chemistry class, especially since this class will be an after-school activity.

Starstar Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 Sorry, I should have clarified - chemadvantage website has a link on the left that takes to http://www.clovervalleychemistry.com/ and they offer chemistry class both at regular and honors level. Any reviews on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 If you are hoping for this school yr, I think your options are going to narrow. Many homeschool online classes fill in a matter of hours/days after opening up registration in the spring for the following school yr. It is ver unlikely that ChemAdvantage has any openings.

Any reviews on this? Clover Valley is brand new. Those are Dicentra’s courses (she is a board member). While she is a very experienced chem teacher, she is offering the online version of her courses for the first time this coming academic year. There will be no reviews that you can find. However I suggest you contact her with any specific questions if you are interested. I am not sure if she still has more spots in her classes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satellite Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 BlueTent offers Honors Chemistry https://www.bluetentonline.com/honors-chemistry Bearean Builders offers the same as well https://bereanbuilders.com/ecomm/online-classes/ Mr. Moskaluk (I've heard based on reviews) is an amazing Chemistry teacher. I don't think he'd link anyone that wouldn't provide a great class - I'd go with Clover Valley for sure. But that's just my take! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootAnn Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I think Clover Valley is full for this year, but you can always check. My dd took Excelsior's chemistry with a different text but I think the same teacher (Childress) as who is teaching it this fall. She loved the class. It is not "honors" level, but just a solid regular level class. She liked the teacher and enjoyed the class. The teacher graded homework, lab write-ups, and tests. It was a live class (but recordings were available). Obviously, live classes are more fun if you can attend live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstharr Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I helped a struggling college student with chemistry. We enrolled in Thinkwell College Chemistry.Watch the videos and did the TW homework and test in conjunction with his college class. No problem recommending. With Homeschoolbuyer discount, I think we paid $60 for the class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the regular Chem class isn’t full, just the Honors one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
