High school physics can strike fear in the heart of even the most seasoned homeschool parent. Maybe you’ve felt it too—just the word “physics” can bring flashbacks of complicated equations, hours of problem sets, and confusing lab experiments. You may be thinking, “I’m not a scientist—how in the world can I teach this at home?”
Why This Christian Homeschool Physics Course Will Change the Way Your Teen Sees Science
YOU’RE NOT ALONE! Many parents hit this wall in homeschooling. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to be an expert to give your teen a rock-solid physics education. In fact, with the right resources, you can offer your student an academically rigorous, faith-rooted course that prepares them for the future. That’s exactly what Journey Homeschool Academy’s Discover Physics was created to do.
Let’s dive into why this Christian homeschool physics course is the perfect fit for your family.
Why Teaching Physics at Home Feels Intimidating
If you’ve ever flipped through a high school physics textbook, you know why parents feel overwhelmed. Motion, forces, energy, electricity, magnetism, waves—it’s a lot. Add in balancing time, other subjects, younger kids, and maybe even a job, and suddenly teaching physics feels impossible.
And then there’s worldview. Too many science resources present physics as if the material world is all that exists. As Christian parents, we know better. We want our kids to see the laws of the universe as evidence of God’s power and design, not random chance.
That’s where JHA steps in.
What Makes Discover Physics Different?
This isn’t just another dry physics course. Discover Physics was created specifically for Christian homeschool families. That means:
- Faith integration: Every concept points back to the order and creativity of God’s design.
- Engaging video-based lessons: Professional instruction makes complicated concepts simple (and even fun!).
- Hands-on labs: Because physics needs to be experienced, not just memorized.
- Flexibility: Pacing that works for your unique homeschool schedule.

- Homework help videos for tricky math and problem-solving
For parents, the course dashboard provides graded assessments, answer keys, lab guides, and scheduling support. For students, it feels like having a personal tutor guiding them step by step.
What Parents and Students Are Saying
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what other homeschool families have said about Discover Physics:
The thought of taking Physics was daunting! When we started homeschooling, I never dreamed I would have a child that would take high school physics, let alone attempt it at home. My strengths are not in math & science. Thanks to Journey Homeschool Academy, advanced high school science classes have been a positive experience for us! I have confidence my son will be graduating from high school with a quality, rigorous science foundation and will be well prepared for post-secondary education.
– Lacey, mom of Discover Physics student
With 8 kids to homeschool, I needed to delegate some of the teaching to someone else… Discover Physics is not only quality educational content presented clearly and enthusiastically by excellent teachers, it has an independent learning format for students. This was such a good choice for our family!
– Loretta, mom of Discover Physics student
If I just had a textbook, I wouldn’t be able to understand Physics… However, the videos make the concepts easy to understand and follow. The visuals really help me grasp what being taught. And if I still don’t get it, the ability to contact real teachers is life-changing!
– Faith, Discover Physics student
I had taken Experience Chemistry and Discover Physics was the next one on my list…… What I like most about the course is how Luke and Trisha explain the topics in new ways from one another as it helps me better understand the concepts. I’ve also appreciated the pre-made notes!
– Sarah, Discover Physics student
These parents and students were once in your shoes—and now they’re on the other side, grateful they found JHA.
Getting Started with Discover Physics
Ready to take the intimidation out of high school science? Here’s how:
- Enroll in Discover Physics.
- Watch the preview lesson with your teen to get a feel for the course.
