Online science courses, taught one to one.
Cicero teaches science the way it deserves to be taught — one specialist teacher, one student, real work. Twelve accredited online science courses for grades 5–12, each built around the child in front of the teacher.
No lecture hall, no fifty-minute bell. Your child reads, thinks, and gets to argue their case with a specialist who has the time to answer.

What an online science class actually looks like.
Two live sessions a week with the same teacher all year. Between them your child works, and comes back with questions. Because it is one-to-one, the plan bends to the student rather than the other way around.
A student who becomes obsessed with one corner of the subject spends real time there. A student working toward an exam works backward from it. Both finish with a transcript grade and work worth keeping.
Built around your child
One teacher and one student means the material is pitched at the reader in front of them, not at an average student who doesn't exist.
Writing every week
Clear written argument is the skill that lasts. Work comes back marked and gets rewritten — the loop that class size takes away.
Discussion, not lecture
With one student in the room, the session is a conversation. Your child does most of the talking, and thinking out loud is the point.
Grades and credit that travel
Cicero is accredited with NCA CASI, NWAC and SACS CASI via Cognia. Coursework earns a transcript colleges recognize.

AP courses, one student at a time.
AP exams reward students who can do more than recall. One-to-one is where that gets built: every piece of work is read closely, marked against the real rubric, and rewritten.
Your child can take an AP course as their only AP or alongside others. We schedule around your family, not a school timetable.

The specialists who teach science
We hire subject specialists, not generalists with a spare period. Every teacher has advanced study in the field and years of one-to-one teaching behind them.
30 more science teachers
We match on subject, level and temperament — the last one matters more than families expect.
Why science gains from one-to-one.
It is a conversation
Real understanding shows up when a student has to explain and defend an idea out loud — something almost no one does in a class of thirty.
The work can be right
One teacher, one student means the reading, the pace and the problems are chosen for this child, not a syllabus average.
Feedback that lands
Every piece of work comes back marked closely and gets another pass. That loop is where the learning actually happens.
Frequently asked questions about our online science courses
What online science courses does Cicero offer?
Twelve science courses for grades 5–12, each taught one-to-one. If your child needs something not listed, ask — several of our courses began as one family's request.
Are Cicero's science courses accredited?
Yes. Cicero is accredited with NCA CASI, NWAC and SACS CASI via Cognia, so coursework earns real grades, credits and a transcript colleges recognize — including for families who otherwise homeschool.
Can my student take an AP science course one-to-one?
Yes. Every AP course is taught by one teacher to one student, scheduled around your family, with exam preparation built into the year rather than added in spring.
What grades are the science courses for?
Grades 5–12. Because teaching is one-to-one, a course is pitched at the student in front of the teacher rather than at a grade average.
How many sessions a week, and how long is a course?
Typically two live sessions a week across a 30-week year, with work in between. Semester electives run about 15 weeks. Start dates are rolling — we don't wait for September.
Do you teach science to students outside the US?
Yes. About half our families are outside the United States, including families travelling full time. Sessions are scheduled to your time zone and your child keeps the same teacher wherever you are.
Other subject areas
Many of our families pair science with a second subject and run the two together.
