Textbooks for Selected Courses
Find out if you need a textbook or other tools for your course!
Some courses require printed textbooks and study materials, or computer software. These learning aids may not be included in the price of the course, and the students need to acquire them themselves before the course starts, or in cooperation with the school.
Only e-books required for FLVS Global are already included with the course. The Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth and University of Nebraska textbooks and lab sets are not part of the course, and students must purchase them before the course starts.
We suggest you buy used or new textbooks through Amazon or other sources and agree on the use of lab supplies and a school lab (instead of purchasing a lab kit). Some libraries also provide a borrowing service for titles from abroad.
