“Do not be afraid to enroll in this course. I had never been a part of any art classes previously, but the teacher was patient and very understanding! The skills you learn here can provide a good foundation for future art classes. You learn not only how to create great art, but also why you should use different art tools.”

“The teacher explained the material in an organized manner that made difficult concepts more comprehensible. His passion for Anatomy & Physiology was clear and contagious. I left each class with a fresh understanding of how a certain part of the body works, and more than anything else, how the different parts of the body work in amazing ways to keep us alive.”

English Writing and Literature
“I highly recommend this course! Throughout the year the carefully structured writing assignments slowly but surely improve your writing and analysis skills. In addition, the grammar assignments give you a greater understanding of the English language and how to properly use it. And as a bonus you get to read many fun books, and watch two great movies at the end of the year! For anyone who needs improvement in their writing and grammar, but would like to have fun at the same time, this course is for you!”

“The teacher is really fun and she really encouraged the students to explore fun science. There is a lot of cool stuff in this class. You get to do all sorts of fun experiments and ask all sorts of questions. She knew how to encourage students to be excited about science while keeping the class under control. Overall, I learned a lot!”

“I would recommend this course to others because the teacher makes learning Chemistry fun! The teacher taught us how to understand the material, to think clearly, and to take one step at a time. I was scared to learn Chemistry, but after the first class I was excited.”

“I would recommend this course to others because it really challenges you to become a better writer. We learn so much grammar, read so many books, learn how to annotate better, and become stronger writers all in just a short period of time.”

“This course not only taught me new things about history, it taught me how to study history and write about history. The study guides are very helpful and the final essay preparation helped me know how to go about writing a 1200+ word essay. A year ago I thought I could never do something even half as long, after taking this course I feel like I could take on something double as long. I am so glad I took this course. Even if someone thinks they know a lot about history, I would still advise them to take this course.”

“We have loved the Math Accelerated program for our younger students. The classes are engaging, fun and move at a great pace to help the kids remain focused. My daughter went from hating math to loving math during her year in Math Accelerated 6. Problems went from being a struggle to being a fun puzzle to work out. Having had such a good experience with the program, we put our youngest in Math Accelerated 4. He also had a great experience, looks forward to class and has made great strides in his mathematical understanding.”

Computer Programming
“I believe that this course is a great way to start someone on their adventure into programming. The different programming challenges throughout the course will puzzle the student into using the information learned in new and inventive ways. TPS’s Introduction to Computer Programming is a fascinating course.”
