New courses:  Chinese, MS Office mini-courses for students and parents, Western Philosophy, World Religions, Poetry, Statistics, and many more.

Course improvements:  Optional problem-solving session each week for all math classes; science courses further improved and expanded with supplemental material beyond the textbooks, stronger lab report instruction and evaluation, and improved exam questions to help prepare students for AP and college-level tests; more balanced grammar instruction in early English courses; adding an American History for grade 9 and 10 students; and more.

Better service:  Adding live admin support hours, offering a separate early registration for families taking many courses, moving check processing and depositing to a dedicated site, reducing payments from four to three, eliminating late fees, and more.

@ Description and Requirements
@ Character Feedback

The Potter's School is committed to helping families achieve academic excellence in home education. Our consistent experience over many years is that academic success depends more on initiative, diligence, perseverance and other character traits than on scholastic ability. Godly character is instilled through discipleship within the family and the local church, and it is developed most effectively through integrating school with chores, work, ministry, outreach and other service into the all-encompassing process the Bible calls "labor."

@ Photography Experience 2010 application

The Potter’s School is organizing an exciting photography workshop to take place in the scenic and mountainous region of northern Utah! The focus of the week will be to develop photographic and artistic skills and to grow spiritually through the “hidden lessons” photography can reveal. Imagine a unique opportunity to experience a hands-on, location photo workshop in a small group setting with other TPS students, while gaining valuable insight from field-based instruction and enjoying the beauty of God’s earth. Picture an experience that challenges you to go deeper spiritually through discipleship, discussion, and fellowship as you learn how to take your photos to the next level.
