Buying Mystery Science is easy! Our process is self-service. Just visit the
order page when you are logged into your account, and follow the step-by-step instructions. If you don't have an account with us yet, you can create a quote on the
pricing page. Once you have created a quote, you can pay via credit card, check, or purchase order. Homeschool Memberships can also be purchased using PayPal.
For the 2021-22 school year, Mystery Science is only offering School Memberships and District Memberships. We will no longer be selling Classroom Memberships. We want to help teachers avoid paying out-of-pocket and we want to encourage broad access to Mystery Science for all teachers at the school. For schools with significant budget challenges, we offer financial aid.
If your school is unable to purchase a School Membership, we do have some individual Class Scholarships available for classroom and special education teachers who teach 35 students or less. You can apply for a 2021-22 Class Scholarship here.
You can create a price quote on the order page if you are logged into a Mystery Science account that is eligible for a new order or renewal. Or, if you don't have an account with us yet, you can create a quote on the
pricing page .
