About us
Everything you wanted to know about Science is WEIRD (but were afraid to ask)
We’re a weird company.
We teach science classes… but not in the usual way.
We also focus on a very specific skill — close reading — and use it as the secret to teaching all sorts of other things.
And we offer “Genius Workshops” for parents and kids to help to help cultivate Renaissance people.
Feel free to check out those. But to get the biggest-picture understanding of us, take a look at the pages below!
All our “about” pages
We were founded in the early days of the pandemic, but our roots go back much further. Check out our secret origin.
Or you can read some of our Frequently Asked Questions.
You might want to read our approach to learning…
…or possibly our approach to science in particular!
Perhaps you’d like to meet our team? (We’re real people, we promise!)
We’re so real, we’re problematic — we have extreme opinions that you should know about!
And we should be clear about the various reasons you might not enjoy what we do.
Maybe you’ve heard the rumors about us!
We try to be kind, and would like families to be, too. OR ELSE!
You can judge a person by the books in their library. If you’d like to judge us, take a look at some of our favorite books for clever kids!
Don’t take our word for it — take a look at what parents have said about our program.
We’re proud of how we incorporate spaced repetition to — for families who want it — end the scourge of forgetting forever.
Finally, if you’d like keep up to date as to the new classes and workshops we’re offering, stay in the loop!

“My 7th grader... had a tough 6th grade year, so we pulled him to homeschool with a desire to resurrect his love of learning.
Your course has done that, for which I am extremely grateful.”
