We will be ordering the science textbooks, supplies, and student consumables in bulk to get a reduced price and save on shipping - the price is based on the grade level of each student. If you already have the curriculum or find it cheaper used, you can opt out of ordering it through us (except for student sheets and class fees, which must be ordered with us).
