Biology Lab (Fall 2026)

Our Goals
Our programs are designed to provide practical lab experience for students
who have completed or are currently studying chemistry and/or biology on
a high school level in a homeschool environment. Kentucky graduation
requirements include “3 credits that shall incorporate lab-based scientific
investigation experiences and include the content contained in the Kentucky
core academic standards for science.”

Asbury University has the resources to provide your homeschooled student
with a top-notch learning experience in a well-equipped laboratory setting.

Our Laboratory Program
Since homeschool programs use a variety of learning resources, the labs
will not always coordinate with your class lessons. However, each lab has
been designed as an independent learning unit. The techniques and concepts
presented should be universal to any natural science program. A detailed
syllabus will be available before classes start.

Our Student Expectations
Students should always come to lab prepared by reading the lab and related
material in their own textbooks. Preparing for lab is their homework!

Students should be committed to attending all the lab sessions for each
semester. No makeup labs can be provided. Tuition cannot be refunded
for missed labs. Individual grades will be given for each lab attended each
semester. There is no penalty for missing a lab.
