“This class showed me that children’s literature isn’t just fiction, but you can find many important themes and ideas in children’s books. Most people tend to overlook the power of children’s literature, but by taking this class I have learned lessons that have deeper meanings when analyzed carefully.”

Emma W (student – Children’s Literature)

“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)

“Unlike history courses I have taken in the past, World History is so comprehensive, and it brought to life just how relevant things that happened in the past are to today! I learned so much about the significance of events, and I have become more interested in history. Studying for this class was a joy, and the biblical worldview with which it is taught gives history its meaning!”

Eunice T (student – World History)

“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)

“This course really teaches a lot! This remarkable class taught me about important people, kingdoms and empires. We also learned a lot of new vocabulary! The class gave me a full picture of life in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Israel, Greece, and Rome. Sometimes, we even played review games to go over our last unit! People might say history is boring, but in reality it can be fun.”

Benjamin W (student – Elementary Humanities: History and Literature of the Ancient World)

“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)

“…my ACT test returned with a perfect score in English. Wow!”

Hannah M (student)

“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 D (student – Art)

“TPS has been life saving for us living overseas with few school options. I’m so thankful to be a part of it. Thanks for all the work you’ve done to keep it open and running at such a high standard.”

Angie M (parent)

“One of the beauties of TPS is that the homeschooling parent can listen in on the class (while tending to other duties) and know how to support the student in his or her pursuit of academic excellence. Teachers are quick to respond to any concern the student or parent has and often answer within 24 hours! Homework is submitted online and comes back with detailed feedback that is personalized for the student. Before we started with TPS, I was afraid it would be very impersonal. How wrong I was! Teachers address students by name throughout the class and students come to know each other through the chat bar. Best of all, I know my children are under the care and instruction of a loving, Christian teacher who models prayer and godly standards in every aspect of the class.”

Miam D (parent)

“TPS English teachers have improved my daughter’s writing not only in English courses but also in other high school and college courses. She consistently receives high marks and college-level writing comes easily to her because of the training she received from her TPS teachers.”

Lisa F (parent)

“Through this course I learned how many of the different components in computers or electronically powered machines work. I also learned a lot about how each individual piece works in the real world and how I could use it to build my own things.”

Jamin S (student – Electronics)

“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)

“This course is such a blessing to me. I used to hate science, but now physical science is my favorite subject! The teacher was so encouraging, and all the assignments were fun and helpful. The class also prepared me to write lab reports. I’m definitely going to continue science with TPS!”

Grace W (student – Physical Science)

“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)

“The TPS Elementary Spanish courses are a wonderful introduction to a foreign language at a steady, comfortable pace for younger learners. The classes provide a great foundation for high school Spanish classes in the future. The curriculum is the best my family has ever seen in a foreign language class!”

Tammy B (parent – Elementary Spanish)

“This class has not only provided me with a better understanding of ancient history, but has broadened my way of thinking and of viewing the world through a fun and interesting process. I would recommend this class to others because it not only captures the beauty of this history, but also gives us an understanding of life in that time period.”

Emma W (student – Ancient History)

“This course engages the critical thinking side of math as well as the math formulas. Before taking this course, I took math from a different curriculum that only taught how to put the answers on paper; now I truly understand what I’m doing.”

Wade S (student – Pre-Algebra)

“My first TPS class was Writer’s Workshop in 6th grade. I proceeded to take four more years of TPS English, among other courses, before attending a rigorous college prep boarding school and then Wheaton College, where I majored in (you guessed it) English. My TPS courses set me up exceptionally well for a successful academic experience by teaching me not merely quality course content, but also independent study skills. Though I never would have guessed it back in 6th grade, it only makes sense that I’ve returned to TPS as an English teacher, passing on those same lessons and skills to the next generation.”

Linnea G (teacher, alumnus)

“Not a course typically seen for high schoolers. Very interesting studies on the Constitution and its laws, and challenges the student to analyze cases differently by writing legal briefs.”

Melissa B (student – Constitutional Law)

“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))

“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)

“Great course and great teacher! There are multiple opportunities to do projects, experiments, and even lab reports throughout the school year. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn about motion, electricity, atoms, weather, and many other wonderful things God has given us!”

Caleb N (student – Physical Science)

“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)

“I really enjoyed this class. This is not only an AP test prep class, but also a full high school U.S. history course. I take the AP test soon and I feel well-prepared. I appreciated the weekly video segment to help us specifically on writing AP essays. We also went beyond the textbook in class discussions which were super interesting and helped me gain more perspective on U.S. history.”

Susannah G (student – AP U.S. History)

“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)

“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)

“In my first year at TPS I took courses that were all known for being challenging. I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to adjust, but this anxiety disappeared after my first live lesson in each subject because all my teachers were extremely helpful and patient with me. After discussing with other TPS students in my city, we agreed that grace, ease, and a sense that TPS teachers really want to help us seemed to be common themes. This is part of what I think makes TPS special. In other online schools I have not experienced the same level of comfort or care from my teachers.”

Abigail R (student)

“I thought this course would be extremely difficult, but it was easy to follow and the teacher gave great feedback. Classes were lots of fun and didn’t feel like work. And my knowledge of World History has greatly improved!”

Alan J (student – AP World History)

“This course was awesome. I came into the course knowing too little about U.S. Government, and I left it feeling like my knowledge on the subject had increased 100-fold. The teacher does an excellent job teaching the material, and makes class time enjoyable. If you’re not afraid of hard work and want an awesome overview of American Government and Politics, then I highly recommend this course!”

Zaid A (student – AP U.S. Government and Politics)

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.

Teacher Approval materials and placement tests are due within one week of enrolling in a course (no extensions, sorry!). After you have Teacher Approval for a class, make your first payment by eCheck (preferred) or credit card.

You pay only after you are holding a confirmed approved seat in the class you want.

When are my tuition payments due?

Initial payment is due after you hold a confirmed approved seat in a class you want. Subsequent payment due dates depend on the start date (full year, summer, fall, spring) of each class. Special payment plans are also available. More information on tuition payment schedules…

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). We support the Chrome and Firefox browsers (others generally work but we don’t support them). More information on TPS technical requirements…

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. TPS also offers a standard and an honors diploma. More information on TPS grade reports, transcripts and diplomas…

How do TPS students score on AP® exams?

TPS AP® course students are top scorers on AP® exams, and most get scores of 4 or 5. More information on TPS AP® courses…

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.
