Private Classes

The current Taylor Made Science schedule reflects the most popular courses that parents and students are looking for. If you have a group of students who would be interested in a science course other than those scheduled (or would like their own private session of a scheduled course), please see details below and then contact Cheryl if you are interested in learning more.

Organization: Private classes are arranged through a sponsoring parent who is willing to organize a group of interested students. The teacher works with the sponsoring parent to set class dates, times, etc. The sponsoring parent takes care of collecting and submitting the semester payment for the group.

Cost: A private class is $4000 per course for up to 5 students. Each additional student is $800 per student. Payment must be made for a full semester: one half of yearly tuition is due before the first class of the semester. (Tuition costs include a lab kit for each student. Students will be responsible for purchasing a textbook, typical school supplies, and a few “household” supplies used in labs.) Please note, no refunds will be given if any or all students drop the course before the end of the semester. The teacher will have already purchased materials for the semester and reserved time to teach the class.

Class Length and Timing: Each course will last 30 weeks, meeting 1.5 hours per week. All tests will be taken online between classes with a parent proctor so class time is not used for testing. The course may begin at any time and does not have to coincide with the calendar for other scheduled classes. Class meeting dates will be determined through the cooperation of the sponsoring parent and the teacher.
