Does your homeschool student want to be an engineer? Competition for the top engineering schools is fierce — but now you can give your homeschool students an edge that will set them apart.

Catapult Engineering Academy’s unique online curriculum can help make your high-school student’s “engineering dream” come true. Since this four-year curriculum was introduced in a traditional classroom setting 11 years ago, more than 70% of its 300+ graduates have pursued engineering degrees. Another 15% have entered other STEM fields. These young men and women are doing amazing things in and out of the classroom and now in the workforce.

We’re writing to you to let you know that the same unique, proven Catapult Engineering Academy courses are now available in an online format to homeschool students everywhere.

“One of the best aspects of the Catapult Engineering Academy program and its high expectations is that students enter college with a head start.”

Nels Madsen, Professor of Mechanical Engineering
and Academy Award Winner, Auburn University

Why does it work?
Catapult Engineering Academy’s online courses are so successful because they are designed to mirror the first two years of college.

Our courses truly prepare students for a seamless transition after high school. Because our curriculum is built on our knowledge of high school, college, and the engineering profession, Catapult’s courses are just what your student needs for his or her college application to stand out. As a bonus, students who have taken our courses have a real “head start” on good grades once they arrive in college.

The designer and teacher of the Catapult courses, Dr. Mark Conner, is an engineer who has been teaching high school since 1996. Dr. Conner has 10 years of experience teaching undergraduate engineering courses, so he knows what future engineering students need to learn, and exactly how to teach it.

With Catapult, students engage in real-world, hands-on projects. They explore concepts that they will see again in college. And, they develop a breadth of the hard and soft skills that form a strong foundation for both academic and vocational success.

Catapult students become proficient in software tools — such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, and LabVIEW — that are standard in engineering education and industry. They also develop communication skills prized by future employers and college professors, through our courses’ emphasis on both formal and informal writing and speaking.

Here’s what homeschool parents say about our program:

“It is important that he is doing things that engineers really do, learning real skills. I love the idea of better preparing students and giving them the skills that they need to be successful.”

“The level of challenge allows students to appreciate the rewards for hard work. We felt that the courses were challenging but well balanced.”

“I can’t believe how much he has learned”

“I can’t tell you how much he is enjoying learning this program.”

Real People Are There to Support Your Student

We want to make sure that our students and their parents are successful. So our courses are accessible to students 24/7 and supported by uniquely qualified Teaching Assistants.

Our TAs are all graduates of the curriculum and are available through a cooperative relationship with Auburn University’s Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. Their job is to help students through face-to-face check-ins (online), regular email correspondence, and timely feedback on assignments. Our students build great relationships with their TAs, and parents are quick to praise the value our TAs add.

“I love the TA we were assigned! Very prompt response to questions and emails. Extremely helpful! I love that the instruction is set up online and the fact that between the TA and my son, the need for me was minimal. I was extremely grateful that everything was graded for me!”

“The Teaching Assistant was incredibly professional and was always quick to respond to questions with an answer or an offer to Skype with the student. If she didn’t know the answer right away, she got back to us in a timely manner. This personal component and interaction was very beneficial and key to making the online format work well and to set it apart from a canned curriculum.”
