QuantumCamp

Our 3^rd grade son’s been in the Quantum Camp math and science homeschool classes since Fall 2014 and they have already made a significant impact on him. Thanks to QC, he now ENJOYS and is motivated to learn more math and science! The teacher acts as a guide, giving the kids frameworks and posing questions/​challenges but then she gives the class plenty of room to explore on their own. The bar is set high and nothing’s dumbed down, but since it’s delivered in an engaging way, the kids are empowered, have fun, and learn.

I think what makes these classes so awesome is the enthusiasm and knowledge of the teachers. Science is obviously a passion of the staff and it shows. The elementary classes are not watered down and my kids have come away with a confidence and comfort with the subject matter I don’t think they could have gotten anywhere else.

My fifth grade son has been taking Quantum Camp classes this year in Piedmont (Level 3: Chemicals, Electricity, Anatomy). He has really enjoyed his instructor Michael Finnegan, the amazing hands-​on activities they do, and he especially likes the discussions the class has. He has become so fired up he aspires to study Chemistry in college. Quantum Camp has a unique approach developing the fundamentals of an area of study through experimentation and observation in a small group. Really recommend for inspiring Math and Science instruction!!!

Hands down, the best science courses available. Michael and his team have put together some high-​level course offerings that never disappoint. My kids are enthusiastic about the subject matter and always come away with an impressive knowledge of the subjects. My 11 old daughter loves chemistry, thanks to Quantum Camp. Priceless!

I want to thank you again for the work that you do. Our son who is now 14 has taken science classes and attended camps and workshop his whole life and he seems to feel that QuantumCamp is more thorough, challenging and interesting than all the rest by orders of magnitude. We hope that you will dream up more opportunities for high school kids in the coming years.

Michael and Ryan have a ton of good ideas and are passionate about science and math. A refreshing take on higher level, quality education. As QC has grown larger in size and scale, it’s had an inverse affect on the quality of their classes. Students can get lost in the shuffle. We put our faith in one of Ryan’s newer classes, then Algebra ½, and the class was way overstated. My child had to drop out (too easy) and this put him way off his academic track cause it was too late to enroll elsewhere. It was a risky venture for my child. For the higher level science classes, there is great hands on lab work. However, students need to be diligent about studying on their own if they want to be prepared for the AP exams. QC provides very little/​no support for students who need to prep for outside exams, such as the AP or SAT exams. The outcome was mixed.

This camp is amazing! My boys 8 & 10 attended the Oceans and Forensic Chemistry Camp (Summer 2012).
The boys had an awesome time! They couldn’t stop talking about their daily experiments. Our family and friends thought the DNAs were very impressive. The boys really enjoyed dissecting and learning of the anatomical parts of marine life.
This camp is truly one of the most unique camps out there. The camp was able to educate, intrigue, as well as motivate children in their own learning. This is how science courses should be taught in public school!
