Derek Owens holds degrees from Duke University in Mechanical Engineering and Physics, and has been teaching homeschool math and physics online since 2010. His courses are built around high-quality instructional videos paired with a skeletal workbook — students fill in guided notes while watching, which keeps them actively engaged rather than passively viewing. Assignments are submitted for grading by Owens and his team, with parents and students receiving emailed copies of graded work and full access to a complete course record.
The courses are widely described as the gold standard for homeschool high school math and physics — rigorous enough to prepare students for college-level STEM coursework, while still clear and methodical enough to be accessible to serious students who aren’t necessarily math prodigies. For families in the Atlanta area, in-person class options are also available alongside the standard distance learning format.
Widely regarded as the best independent high school math option for homeschoolers.
