Are my kids and I the only people in the world who find the Apologia curriculum not a good fit? We have been trudging through general science since the earlier part of this year and it is “the thorn in our side” . We want a creation based science program, but I am having difficulties finding something that will take us through the high school years. My 6th grader and 8th grader currently do science together. We had done Answers in Genesis’ God’s Design for Science curriculum prior to this and we LOVED it. I only switched because their science programs only go up to 8th grade and I wanted my oldest on a path to be ready for high school science.
What are some creation based science courses other than Apologia that are reputable and go through high school?
Has anyone modified the God’ Design for Science series to be used for high school science?
I would love to hear any thoughts!

Hi Tammy,
I am not sure what type you are looking for. But AIG has middle and HS science material on the human body as well as chemistry.
This is a dvd curriculum http://www.answersingenesis.org/PublicStore/product/Chemistry-101-DVD-based-Curriculum,6999,190.aspx
astronomy (not sure if this can substitute)

I can’t find the specific one I was looking for, and need to start my day. I will try to look for it again when I have a chance.
