Information For Home Schoolers

We would like you to be aware that we do not recommend IPS and/or FM&E for use in home schools for the following reasons:

  • There are safety concerns associated with the performance of labs in a non-laboratory setting. As much as we would like to sell books, the safety of students is more important to us.

  • Our curricula depend heavily on laboratory activities that require the compilation and analysis of entire class sets of data in order to reach meaningful conclusions – more data than can be collected in a reasonable amount of time in a homeschool setting. As a result, our programs are less effective in such a setting.

If our programs are used in a home school setting, we highly recommend that the teacher attend one of our training workshops.
