The Potter's School offers a complete curriculum of high quality on-line junior and senior high courses taught from a biblical worldview. Since 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 at home by the parents. Live classroom sessions 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 emphasize personalized timely feedback and evaluation.

Choosing Courses and Class Times
Before searching and browsing our courses, please note:
- From the beginning of February until enrollment opens for the year, we add many courses, update continuing courses, and retire a few old ones, so please expect frequent updates during that period. We don't post the class schedules (meeting days and times) until just before enrollment opens.
- Each course runs for the full school year unless the course title specifically indicates "(1st Sem)" or "(2nd Sem)."
- Most courses meet live for 90 minutes once each week, though some meet twice per week or more.
- Once you receive a seat in a class section, that is the section you must attend every week.
- All times are U.S. Eastern Time (ET), and The Potter's School does observe Daylight Savings Time. We have nighttime classes to support overseas time zones, so please pay close attention to the class time when registering.
- The minimum and maximum "target" grades are an aid to facilitate families searching for courses, not a prerequisite or assumption of student readiness for a particular course.
- The academic year is listed for each section, since we sometimes list current and future year's sections.
- Courses available for college credit or accredited high school credit are marked as "Credit" with details available in the course description.
- Sections in which overseas students have priority are marked as "overseas."
- We offer a separate set of TPS Summer courses. Summer sections are numbered 101, 102, etc.
- Sections in which parents may enroll are marked as "Parents."
If you want to put your schedule on paper and see it in your time zone, please download the Course Planning Worksheet and print the pages appropriate for your time zone.
