The Potter's School

The Potter's School "offers a broad curriculum of high quality on-line junior and senior high classes taught by instructors who honor homeschooling values. Our intent is to partner with parents in the home education process. The courses are primarily independent study programs that are guided and evaluated by the teacher and supervised by the parents. Live classroom sessions (usually one per week) are used to highlight significant material from the past week and to afford students an opportunity to interact with one another and with the instructor. All of our courses feature personalized timely feedback.... Each teacher is selected based on academic expertise, Christian character, and commitment to Biblical standards of service and faith."

 

Parents Say:

Mr. N.,

...You are a fabulous teacher and we are recommending your course to everyone we know. Thanks for making the experience such fun and providing a wonderful Christian example to our daughter who desperately needs to see positive Christian examples. God has put you in our lives for eternal purposes and we are grateful beyond words.

In Christian Love,
Vicki

"It has been a GREAT year for Kalli!!! Paul and I feel like she has learned a tremendous amount. She will be taking a World View class this summer. Looking for that to compliment what she has learned this year. Thank you so much for all your efforts and insight. Especially encouraging them to write from a Biblical worldview and using it as a ministry."

In His grace,
~Marla

Thanks for the prompt reply regarding Jonathan's grade. He greatly benefitted from your class. I look forward to my daughter Samantha participating in your class this coming school year. You and many of the teachers at TPS have helped my husband and I to continue to choose homeschooling for our family as our children have reached their teen years. Not only have we appreciated the assistance in "keeping the bar high" academically, but the adult Christian example provided to my teenagers has been invaluable.

The HS World History class was one of the most outstanding events of this school year! Alyssa blossomed and thrived under Mr. N. careful instruction! The Christian worldview associated with this class in particular was beyond outstanding!!! Cindy and I both wanted to find the time to read Alyssa's history assignments. Unfortunately for us, that seldom happened, due to ministry overloads. However, when Alyssa would share with us about the things she was learning, we were truly blessed! Thanks so much for offering this outstanding worldview course on World History!!!!! It was great!!!!! Mr. N. changed Alyssa's life---both by giving her a greater love for History, and by encouraging in ways that will greatly help her in life.

Blessings!
~Henry and Cindy

We are grateful that our children were able to have you as their instructor in world history via a Christian perspective, and pray that God blesses you and your family.

Students Say:

"Hi Mr. N!
Even though class is quite early in the morning- its great! Actually, this is the first time I've enjoyed learning history- so thanks!"
~Melissa

"Yes, I'm reading through a world history textbook right now, just to kind of solidify all the stuff I learned in your class, dates and whatnot. The best part is, I can really step back and see the entire picture, just like you taught us! I'll be reading this section on Egypt and I'll be like, hey, what was happening in the rest of the world during that time? And I find myself asking WHY, what was the source, what was the reason that this happened, those kinds of questions. It's so awesome! Anyways, thanks again for teaching me how to love and really get the most out of world history!"
~Lisa

Hey Mr. N.! Thank you sooo much for teaching history. I have learned more in this history class than any one I've ever taken! This is an incredible ministry that you have and it has blessed my life and without a doubt the lives of many, many others! Thank you again.
~Scott

"Thanks for being a wonderful teacher to me! I didn't enjoy history that much until you came along and starting teaching me! It is REALLY interesting. I REALLY enjoy it!"

Sincerely,

Hi Mr N.,

I just want to thank you for developing such a GREAT history course! I actually enjoy history now! You are such a great teacher!

Thanks so much for the many opportunities you gave me to do collaborative projects (i.e.. Reader's Theatre and the Collaborative Writing Assignment! It has been a unique experience interacting with students from Missouri and Poland from my home in Ottawa, Canada. It has also been an awesome experience to be laughing my head off in class at your singing in class.
God Bless you and your ministry!

This is an excellent choice for the student whose connection costs to the Internet are reasonable, and who would enjoy a real-time, live classroom with videoconferencing. This decreases the amount of self-discipline required by a "work at your own pace" course. In September, TPS opened it's 2003-04 school year with 34 instructors working with 1100 students from 32 countries taking 175 classes. (Some of the countries are: Cambodia, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Gibraltar, Hungary, Cote D'ivoire, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Malawi, Niger Republic, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, Vanuatu, Uzbekistan)

The Potter's School lists this course as "World History from a Biblical Perspective". Before making application look over the requirements of last year's World History Syllabus, some of the reading assignments and general structure of TPS courses. The first step is to register with The Potter's School (returning families register here.) After registering with The Potter's School, the student needs to apply to the instructor, and be approved before paying for the course.

Prospective families are encouraged to read the Frequently Asked Questions to make sure this unique course matches parental expectations. Specifically note that most student submissions are edited and anonymously published on hyperhistory.net as part of a ministry to provide world history in Biblical perspective to a global audience (which averages over 100,000 visits per month during the school year).

Students who would like to move through the curriculum at their own pace, without live group instruction, might consider the accredited, but more expensive, Northstar Academy "AP World History" course.
