"I loved this course because it was so thorough with the concepts. The material was challenging, but the teacher did an excellent job teaching it."

Garrett H (student - Precalculus)

"...every class is taught from a biblical perspective, integrating truth from Scripture into the material...

...every teacher I've had is enthusiastic about what he or she teaches, and I can tell the love they have for the material, for teaching it, and for those they are teaching...

...and now in English 6 my writing has reached excellence I would never have dreamed of...

...through TPS I've met some phenomenal people and made strong friendships..."

Victoria M (student)

"It feels good to be back into the TPS family. I love that professionals are working with and teaching my children and me. Thank you for your consistency and care of us! "

Christa E (parent)

"I started TPS in 7th grade, taking English 1 and Latin. After that year I began taking nearly all my classes from TPS, through my high school graduation, from English 1 through Advanced Composition, Literature, and Poetry, to math, where I did Algebra 1 through AP calculus, to an awesome four years of French, and several electives ranging from Web Design to Study Skills to Theology. I loved my time with TPS. I'm now graduating from Grace College with my B.S. in Life Sciences & Education, and I'll also receive my teaching license for secondary science. TPS prepared me for nearly everything I encountered in college, and I wouldn't be the teacher I already am without the influence and encouragement and investment of my TPS instructors. I'm so grateful to be able to pass on to my own students what my TPS instructors gave to me: a love for learning and a hope for future achievements."

Emily A (alumnus)

"In just two semesters I've seen myself grow so much in how effective I am at formulating a true argument. The teacher gives excellent and specific feedback and tips regarding how to improve upon a student's writing, leading me personally to not only be better at how my arguments "sound," but also in how I understand the art of rhetoric. Not only has my writing improved, but so has my speech and ability to think quickly. I'm a competitor in a national speech and debate league, and my understanding of argumentation, how to use pathos, ethos, and logos, has spilled over into my success in debate. Through AP Language, I've had the privilege of developing my skills so I can communicate better and be more confident in my articulation."

Kaitlin L (student - AP English Language and Composition)

"Teacher explains each lesson clearly and in detail, and does practice problems in class. He explains how each equation is derived, and why the answer requires which unit. I was prepared and confident when taking the exams because of the detailed discussions from class."

Mara K (student - Physics)

"This course is a great way to get both English and History. Yes, there may be two classes per week, but the homework is less than what it would be if you took English and History separately. And the teachers are AMAZING."

Isaak J (student - Medieval, Renaissance, Reformation History, Literature and Composition)

"TPS English has enabled our children to achieve excellence in grammar and composition. The high quality of the instruction and assignments has enabled our children to make vast improvements in their ability to be independent writers.

Overall, the TPS English teachers provide an outstanding, high level of detailed corrections to our children's writing to constantly help them improve. Our children have learned logical, systematic paragraph development and how to clearly explain their ideas in writing through this process. Our children will be well prepared to be independent thinkers and writers in college and beyond."

Chris P (parent)

"I took TPS History courses in high school. I am now going into my senior year of college as a history major. I recently had the opportunity to study for a semester at the University of Oxford. For my final seminar paper I wrote an extension of the final paper I wrote for TPS World History. For the Oxford paper I was able to research original documents at the National Archives in London. I then presented that paper at the Phi Alpha Theta Conference (U.S. national history honor society). I am applying for the Fulbright Scholarship to get my masters in England and I plan to go on to get my PhD. Thank you for inspiring and encouraging me in high school."

Lauren B (alumnus)

"The teacher was the best art teacher I've ever had. Many of my art teachers told me I had to do a certain project, but this teacher gave my classmates and I ideas and then let us come up with a project on our own. She also showed us lots of art forms from different times and countries. Overall, this class was extremely fun and helped my art look more professional."

Hannah M (student)

"I just finished a precalc course at community college. Only a couple students out of about 30 finished with A's, and I had a 96. I was also able to help the college-age students understand the material and pass the class. They were all shocked that I'm only 16 and a HS Junior..."

Georgia S (student - Algebra 2)

"Enthusiastic teacher who clearly loves his subject. Class is rigorous, as any AP class is, but carefully planned out according to the text material."

Matthias H (student - AP Biology)

"This program is just right for students in 6th grade and my teacher has been the best math teacher I've ever had. Even though I never really liked math, I love this class and honestly recommend it to any 6th grade student wanting an amazing math class."

Zion R (student - Math Fundamentals 6)

"This class is interesting and informative. What I really appreciated about this class is the focus on not only astronomy but also on apologetics. It is taught from a Christian worldview."

Katherynn P (student - Astronomy)

"After taking TPS French 1 and 2, I enrolled in French 3 at my local community college for the second semester. I was afraid it would be much more challenging than TPS, but I was amazed to discover that all the grammar we were studying, I had already learned back in French 2! More than that, I had learned it all in a way that was so much easier to understand! Lucky for me, I was able to come back to TPS French as a senior this year and continue my studies in French 4/5."

Emily P (student - French)

"College American Literature is a thrilling course that pulls together different forms of literature from the Federalists Papers to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to poems of Walt Whitman. It is an especially great class to take alongside a U.S. History course as students will be able to read firsthand accounts through this class of the history they learn about. Additionally, this course has interesting paper assignments that allow students to dive deeper into American literature and the history surrounding it. Overall I highly recommend College American Literature."

Makenna M (student - College American Literature)

"TPS isn't just a school, it's a safe community for Christian kids. When I first joined TPS, I was a very lonely middle-schooler with few social opportunities and no friends. Not only did TPS give me a wonderful high school education, it gave me a chance to meet other homeschoolers my age. Over the years I have formed very close friendships with people from all over the world. I have found Christian teens who have blessed me and impacted my life on so many levels. I'm so thankful that TPS is a perfect environment in which I can build life-long friendships."

Emma W (student)

"As an art lover and a history lover, I really liked this course! Strongly recommend it! I think everyone who takes this course will gain a lot from it, no matter whether you are going into an art career or just have an interest in art. 🙂 This course is a fantastic chance to study great art works, famous artists, and the thoughts, cultures, and traditions behind the art. Plus a great teacher!"

Erica Z (student - AP Art History)

"In TPS Geometry I learned so much, and my teacher made it easy to understand. I needed to start to get ready for college, and I'm achieving my goals with TPS..."

Lizzy M (student - Geometry)

"My older sister took Bible Survey last year and was always raving about it to me, telling me how much she was learning and what a fabulous teacher she had. Because of her positive experience with it, my mom signed me up for the class. I can honestly say it has changed my life. The textbook used for this class offers interesting and easy-to-understand information about the Bible, and the teacher’s instruction makes Scripture come alive in an interesting and personal way. One of my favorite things about the class is how we don't just learn about the Bible, we learn how it applies to us and how we can use what we learn to glorify God, love others, and become more mature in Christ."

Sarah M (student - Bible Survey)

"College British Literature has been one of the most interesting literature courses that I've taken. Though British literature can be daunting and hard to understand at times, the teacher guided us through from the Anglo-Saxons to the Modernists with confidence and ease. I'm happy to say that Areopagitica by Milton changed my mind, and that the War poets and the Modernists helped me think about life in a different way. I've learned the difference between the Romance and the Romantics, and exactly why Shakespeare was such a genius. If you want to laugh, get excited, be challenged, and learn a lot—this course is for you."

Acacia L (student - College British Literature)

"I am so grateful that TPS was an option for my family! Because of its flexibility, I am able to spend a lot of time with my baby sister. She was born the week my brother started school, three weeks before I started school! I have two brothers already, and I really wanted a sister. It has been significant to me and to my family that I can be involved in her life while also pursuing my academic progress. I have needed to adapt to the changes in schooling and in our home, such as by learning to create task lists and use a schedule for completing my work outside of the live TPS class sessions."

Christina S (student)

"Anyone fascinated with crime investigation and the objective aspect of it will devour this class. It covers almost every aspect of investigating crime, focusing on the individual fields of study, including roles, and the courtroom process itself."

Gabrielle S (student - Forensic Science)

"The College Composition class has greatly improved my writing this year. I came in with little confidence as a writer and found myself very nervous about the class. The teacher worked to help me increase my confidence and to provide feedback that elevated my style of writing. After this class, I now feel ready to attend college next year with confidence that I have the foundation I need to be successful in my college writing courses. I would highly recommend this class to anyone."

Rachel C (student - College Composition)

"A China parent, I strongly believe that TPS is the best choice for my girl since my son (now he is now studying in his second year in the US college) got the benefit from TPS a few years ago."

Helen C (parent)

"The teacher makes the class interesting and enjoyable even though there is a lot of difficult stuff to learn. The class is really in depth and challenging, which is important for those pursuing a science career or for those who love science. This is not an easy class, but it is definitely worthwhile."

Madison J (student - Biology (Pre-AP Honors))

"TPS Western Literature has been one of the most influential classes I've ever taken. The teacher has fostered in me a newfound love for writing and appreciation for meaningful prose. In observing the different styles of literature, from the adventurous works of Homer and Mark Twain to the deeper, meaningful compositions of Shakespeare and Wolf, I understand more fully the effects literature has had in the course of Western Civilization – first how it is influenced by the current ideas of the time it was written, and second how it will influence the next generation of thought and communication. If you want to develop a sense of appreciation for fine literature, writing and the “grand conversation,” take this class!"

Christian C (student - Western Literature)

"I would recommend this class to others because these teachers know exactly what is on the ACT and SAT and they will keep going over those specific areas until you feel confident to do them independently. I also love that when we are struggling in a specific area the teachers will go over that specific area that you are struggling with until you understand, so that you will have no problem with it on the ACT or SAT."

Francie H (student - SAT/ACT Prep)

"I had a great time this year in all my classes. Art was definitely my favorite class, but I really enjoyed every single one of my classes this year. The teachers are all amazing; so understanding and willing do above and beyond to help their students. Although the workload was pretty stiff, my teachers laid it out in a way that was manageable, so I was able to keep up. I really enjoyed TPS this year and I can't wait for the coming school year!"

Rachel M (student)

"From the first class, I knew that I chose the right course. I loved the class environment and how much student participation there was. Also, I enjoyed the literature and history texts that we read. It was engaging and very interesting. I learned so much from the feedback and comments, and through that process I have become a much better writer."

Gabriela Z (student - American History, Literature and Composition)

How does a TPS class work?

TPS provides fully interactive classrooms to students worldwide, even in remote locations with limited connectivity. Our live classes feature quality audio, chat, interactive presentations and a shared whiteboard for all participants. Students can interactively present content from their computer as well. Classes are recorded to allow for occasional missed class make-up.

TPS teachers provide frequent timely individual feedback for evaluation and improvement. Teachers are also available on a reasonable basis to provide help outside of class by email, office hours, group meeting, or an occasional individual meeting.

Students view class messages, track assignments, submit work, and view grades and feedback through an interface that allows them to manage all their courses in one place. Parents have a single interface to oversee assignments, grades and feedback for all their students and courses.

Upon completion of a course, all records remain accessible indefinitely, and parents can print homeschool grade reports, obtain signed grade reports or request accredited transcripts.

How do I get teacher approval for a course?

Immediately after you enroll, you will receive two automated emails for each course. One email discusses placement and Teacher Approval for the course. Please carefully follow any guidance to submit placement information, tests, essays or other work specified.

What are the technical requirements for TPS classes?

TPS classes can be taken on Windows, Mac and Chromebook computers (not tablets, yet). 1 Mbps or higher stable internet is recommended (slower speeds work but reduce the quality of the class, and higher speeds improve the class experience).

Does TPS offer accredited transcripts? Diplomas?

TPS offers self-print homeschool grade reports, signed Grade Reports in PDF form on school letterhead, and transcripts accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

How can I get college credit with TPS courses?

TPS offers a number of upper high school courses for both high school and college credit. These courses are designated as “College Credit” in the Course Catalog details for each course. To receive college credit for the eligible courses, once the course is successfully completed the student registers with Belhaven University, pays the course setup fee and transcript fee, and requests the transcript from Belhaven.
