“This course is extremely fun. It was incredibly informative and I learned a lot. I learned things I had not known before and I learned new aspects to things I already knew. I have always loved marine life and animals in general but I learned so much more about marine resources, marine life I didn’t know as much about, and performed experiments I hadn’t before. The teacher is the best teacher I have ever had and she is really good at encouraging and answering questions. She is very good at answering questions in and out of class and is just really fun to have as a teacher. She makes things lively and I don’t feel like I am just in a lecture but rather that I am experiencing the ocean at my kitchen counter. It is awesome and I highly recommend it to anyone remotely interested in anything marine.”

Math
“We pulled our boys out of public school, and were thankful that TPS has a excellent math program. The older boys have graduated from college with a Computer Science and a Mechanical Engineering degree. Our last son will probably follow his brothers, thanks to the TPS math teachers…”

“Pre-Algebra has really helped me to understand and like math more. Before I took math at TPS, it was very boring and practically a chore. Taking math at TPS is a lot more interesting.”

English Writing and Literature
“Although I did enjoy reading before, through this course, I came to appreciate it much more. I can even say that I learned how to properly read. This course dives deep into the symbolism and themes of the books, a process which can even aid in our spiritual lives. The teacher also challenges her students to write concisely and specifically as she always says to ‘modify to clarify.’ :)”

College, English Writing and Literature
“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.”

College, English Writing and Literature
“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.”

English Writing and Literature
“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 Woolf, 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!”

“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.”
