1. The BEST science/math classes!!! I couldn’t be happier!!!

   Posted by Sarah B. on 24th Jun 2022

   As background information, my students have been raised with Apologia Young Explorers science and Math U See Math (we have enjoyed both programs). For 8th grade, I like to enroll each student I have in Dr. Shormann’s Integrated Chemistry/Physics AND Algebra I/Geometry simultaneously. I want my students to have a year before high school to grow accustomed to navigating a high quality online class, taking notes, studying for science exams, participating in labs, etc. I’ve now had two students take Dr. Shormann’s classes. Both have been appropriately challenged and have also fared well. I’m so pleased. We will definitely take as many D.I.V.E. Online science courses as we can for high school; these classes carry TREMENDOUS VALUE, especially considering the quality of this instructor. Even my skeptical students appreciate Dr. Shormann. They respect him as a teacher and as a person. My husband and I listen in sometimes and are always impressed. Dr. Shormann makes connections for my students that I could not contribute if I was the teacher of these subjects. I’m so grateful for a Christian man, Dr. Shormann, who is a scientist and mathematician and an excellent teacher, to instruct my students in math and science. I couldn’t be happier. My eldest has gone on to enjoy Dr. Shormann’s biology course this year. Everyone should have Dr. Shormann for a science/math teacher!!!

2. Great course!

   My kids are learning so much in this course! I love that the siblings courses are discounted, that truly helps for big families! Lots of great lectures and labs! Wonderful course!

3. Perfect fit!

   The set up of this course is a perfect fit for us. It is easy to use and my son is learning a lot!

4. Good Self-Paced Course

   My daughter enjoys this class and likes that it is laid out in a very easy to follow format. She feels that the lectures and labs are very detailed which is helpful. Her only minor issue is that sometimes she gets into a lab and finds out that something is needed that wasn't listed on the supplies sheet. As a parent I like that the review questions and tests are graded for me. I sit with my daughter for the labs, and they are enjoyable for both of us. I highly recommend this course.

5. 4th Time using this Perfect High School Science

   Posted by Bobbi H. on 10th Dec 2019

   I have used this combo chemistry and physics for all 4 of my kids! It covers the basics for both of these physical sciences, giving them a great foundation. My oldest 2 did not pursue science or engineering, so they did not need advanced courses in these subjects. They took biology and geology at a local college and scored A's. They were well prepared for the rigor of the more advanced science. It also looked very well rounded on their transcripts to have chemistry, physics, biology and then physical geology. They both got into very competative colleges with scholarships. AND I LOVE THE BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW!! Great conversations ensued from doing this at our kitchen counter. (I recommend doing some labs hands on...very fun!)

6. great curriculum

   So far so good. Obviously, we are only halfway through the year, but it's very thought out and organized. It seems also very thorough. Online courses are often very expensive and these are so reasonably priced which I am so thankful for.

7. Excellent for my dyslexic student!

   Posted by Cathy on 31st Mar 2019

   DIVE Integrated Chemistry & Physics has proven to be an excellent program for my daughter, who has dyslexia. She learns best using multi-sensory approaches, so video educational products are excellent for her. Dr. Shormann is easy to understand and he has written a workbook for assignments and labs that is a thorough coverage of the material. His labs make you feel like you're right there with him, which works great for those who can't afford the lab materials. His requirements are clear, and I appreciate that he allows the consumer the ability to print the workbook and glossary on our own.

8. Great Curriculum

   Posted by Rachel A on 10th Dec 2017

   My daughter is working through this ICP course right now. This is the first time that she has taken her own notes for class. She is doing excellent. She enjoys the videos and the labs. I personally think that an actual video of the lab portion would be much more beneficial compared to just pictures, but she doesn't seem to mind. Also, the computerized interactive labs are very fun and interesting for her to learn from. I also like that she can contact Dr. Shormann with question instead of from me. As much as I am involved in what she is doing, I don't really understand everything about this curriculum. It's nice to have a teacher other than me explaining what she needs to do. Thank you!

9. Comprehensive Course

   Posted by Babs on 27th Nov 2017

   My two oldest sons have taken this course and gotten into highly ranked universities, including STEM focused colleges. They were well prepared for college science courses and sailed through. In part, I credit this course and the excellent biblical teaching that enabled them to sift through later science courses as they had to separate fact from fiction! They both love Dr. "Dave.:" I am sticking with it for my third son this year and will start my 4th kiddo with it when high school comes. It cal also be used as an honor level course!! Fantastic!!

10. Our son is thriving!

    We are very satisfied with our purchase.
    Our son is thriving in the Algebra and ICP courses.
