At Taylion, we have a full range of math courses for our students, including online college math courses.

Biology, chemistry, and physics may be the most familiar high school science courses, but they are just the beginning of our science offerings at Taylion. Because we offer online science courses, we are able to offer a broader variety of science courses than many brick-and-mortar schools. That allows our students the flexibility to find sciences that interest them.
High School Social Studies Courses
Today’s high school social studies courses offer students a chance to learn more about the world around them. Social studies courses include geography, history, and government.
