The Potter's School
The Potter's School (or "TPS," as we are commonly known) offers a complete curriculum of high quality on-line elementary, middle school, senior high, AP, and college credit (dual enrollment) courses that are highly academically rigorous and taught from a thoroughly biblical worldview. Live weekly classroom sessions (interactive audio, presentation, whiteboard) are used to highlight significant material and to afford students an opportunity to interact with one another and with the instructor. All of our courses strongly emphasize timely individual feedback and evaluation. In a growing market of distance learning options, we have stayed consistently in the front because we keep our focus on scholarship and discipleship, pursuing "excellence through grace" in these areas together.
