Secondary Education Opportunities
Biology and Chemistry Science Labs
Our Goals
Our programs are designed to provide practical lab experience for students
who have completed or are currently studying chemistry and/or biology on
a high-school level in a home-school environment. Kentucky graduation
requirements include three units in science with one course including a lab.
Asbury University has the resources to provide your home-schooled student
with a top-notch learning experience in a well-equipped laboratory setting.
Our Laboratory Program
Since home school programs use a variety of learning resources, the labs
will not always coordinate with your class lessons. However, each lab has
been designed as an independent learning unit. The techniques and concepts
presented should be universal to any natural science program. A detailed
syllabus will be available before classes start.
Our Student Expectations
Students should always come to lab prepared by reading the lab and related
material in their own textbooks. Preparing for lab is their homework!
Students should be committed to attending all the lab sessions for each
semester. No makeup labs can be provided. Tuition cannot be refunded
for missed labs. Individual grades will be given for each lab attended each
semester. There is no penalty for missing a lab.
An appropriate level of maturity and ability to work independently and with
a group will be expected.

Six labs per semester scheduled for every two weeks.
Fall semester begins August 28, 2015
