Specialized physics workshops are available for both Middle School and High School students seeking preparation and/or advancement in Physics.

The Physics Workshop is very unique and exclusive for students because it requires an uninterrupted sequential progress of learning.

In other words, once students are enrolled in one set workshop, new students will not be enrolled in later semesters for that specific workshop. Yes, new workshops can be offered and started.

The intent is to offer exclusive instruction to a set group of enrolled students to maximize the preparation, acceleration, and advancement of this subject sequentially.

To take advantage of this unique opportunity, we are offering the
Physics Workshop for groups

2 hours per session = $25/session.
