What is Simply Science and Studies?

Simply Science and Studies is an educational program that meets once a week for 28 weeks divided among two semesters. This program is for home-educated students who are in K-12th grade. Participants can pick individual classes to enroll in or bundle multiple classes on one day for an all-day bundle package.

What are the costs involved?

Costs vary depending on your selection of classes and the grade level of the participants, and range from $240 for our shortest class to $895 for our all-day Middle and Upper-level S.T.E.A.M. classes. Bundle pricing is available for participants enrolling in all classes on Mondays or Tuesdays. We do have a payment plan available. See registration form for current pricing.

How are the classes set up?

Our classes are divided into three main grade categories. The Lower Level is for participants in K-3rd grade, the Middle Level is for participants in 4-7th grade, and the Upper Level is for participants in 7-12th grade. Depending on the day, different classes for different grade categories may be going on at the same time to allow for families of multiple children of different grades to participate on the same day.

Parent Testimonials

  • “Science has become, by far, my kids’ strongest subject, and compared to the many classes, curriculums, & co-ops we’ve been a part of, I can say hands-down they’ve learned the most through their classes at Akron Fossils, and have enjoyed it the most!”

  • “More than just providing science classes, Akron Fossils has been an environment where my kids have grown up, made friends, and formed close ties with their teachers.”

  • "I love that their elementary classes find the balance between being amazingly creative but also allowing the parents to choose how much of the home assignments their students do. For the teen years, my kids have participated in the STEM classes and thrived despite having varying academic abilities. I highly recommend their programs. Having homeschooled for 16 years, their classes have easily been some of the best investments we have made. "

  • “The science center offers a wide variety of classes, and provides a unique opportunity for homeschool families who are looking for more in-depth and challenging classes. We have also found a wonderful community of people involved at Akron Fossils, and my kids have formed many close friendships through their weekly classes. It's truly a great environment. I am grateful to Akron Fossils for the love of science they have instilled in my kids!”

  • “Thanks so much for helping our children grow this year through your science classes. Science is always a difficult subject to teach at home, but having the ability to take them to a wonderful facility for a year has been such a blessing. I’ll never teach science again thanks to you all!”
