“TPS Spanish 4 is the best course for advanced Spanish students looking to improve their reading, writing, and speaking skills as well as learn more about Spanish and Latin American cultures. Assigned readings cover a wide variety of topics and are culturally enriching. Class time consists almost entirely of speaking and listening to classmates, unlike non-TPS language courses which may approach class time as solely for the teacher to lecture. While TPS Spanish 4 will require dedication on the part of the student to complete, I would wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone with a strong interest in Spanish. You will come out of this course confident in yourself and speaking Spanish!”

“This class is so fun. It’s a little challenging, so if you are a 5th grader craving a challenge it’s perfect! I love how there were games at the end of each chapter and breakout rooms where you work on math problems with a smaller number of classmates. At first it might be a little intimidating, but it really is so fun!”

“Why would I recommend AP Lit and Comp? Oh let me count the ways… Actually I think I’ll narrow it down to a couple main reasons: 1. Literature analysis – honestly I saw this class less as AP Test Prep and more like AP Book Club. We spent the entire year diving deep into difficult books. Of course we parsed through the literary devices, but we also dug into the authors’ motivations, and how even these snapshots of the depravity of man testify to the goodness and grace of God. 2. Writing analysis – being an AP class, we definitely did our fair share of writing. I appreciated the rigor of the practice quizzes and practice free-response questions we were given, as well as frequent opportunity to write longer analyses. The teacher’s loving feedback helped shape us into sophisticated writers ready to tackle the test!”

“…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…”

“I have never taken such an insightful class. Not only did the instructor teach me the proper way to write an essay, but also how to analyze a story. He takes the ‘simplest’ stories and reveals to the class the profound meanings behind them. I would highly recommend this course.”

“This course completely changed the way I thought about writing. I used to dread writing entire essays and citing sources but after taking this class, I can do so with ease. I learned so much and would highly recommend to anybody looking to think more critically about books or strengthen their writing skills.”

“I would recommend this course to others because of the phenomenal teaching. Teacher is always bubbly and friendly, and always has a moment to spare to help out a struggling student. All in all, a fantastic teacher! The material is well presented in an easy learning format. The homework can be challenging, but one can always find what they need to know in the textbook or one of the lectures. Overall, this class is fun and a good place to learn some Java!”

Art
“…the teacher amazingly works well with all levels of artists – she sees where we are in our journeys and helps us grow from there. She offers suggestions and feedback that help us think about our piece in new ways, but doesn’t pressure us to make changes unless we think it’s what’s best for the piece. She teaches us to make good decisions in our art, she teaches us skills and techniques, she gives us so many artists and techniques to explore as inspiration, and she creates a great atmosphere for us to critique each others’ work in – in a way that helps us grow and learn. I tried so many new techniques and concepts this semester, and I’ve grown so much.”
