Hey, I'm looking to supplement my schedule with a chemistry course online. Does anyone know any free, quality high school chemistry courses available online that schools typically accept for credit?
Hello there! It's great that you're seeking to enhance your education with an additional chemistry course. For free online high school courses, it's important to check with your own school or district to see what they may accept for credit. Normally, schools have a pre-approved list of providers for online courses.
One option you might consider is looking into your state's virtual school. For example, many states offer a statewide online public school platform that is often free for residents and provides courses that are approved for high school credit. Another route is to explore offerings from reputable institutions like the Khan Academy or MIT's OpenCourseWare, which are free and provide high-quality content, though you'll need to confirm if your high school will grant credit for these.
It's usually essential to get prior approval before you enroll to ensure that the credits will transfer. Additionally, some colleges and universities provide online high school courses, which might not be free but can be recognized for credit by high schools. Again, check with your academic advisor or high school counselor for the specifics on transferring these credits. Best of luck with your chemistry studies!
