Why Captivated Chemistry?
Customized Coursework
Your Captivated Chemistry course is delivered simultaneously at three levels of difficulty: Concept Based Chemistry , Computational Chemistry , and College Ready Chemistry . Concept Based Chemistry would be comparable to almost any traditional high school chemistry course. Computational chemistry is still high school level, but it involves more math modeling and would be classified as an honors level chemistry course. College Ready Chemistry adds to computational chemistry all of the topics needed to succeed on the Advanced Placement Chemistry exam. Grade reports are fully configurable to include or omit Computational and College Ready work depending on your student’s strengths and goals.
