Curriculum

High standards for everyone

The Potter’s House provides a Christ-centered education
to families who otherwise could not afford it.

Most of our students are from lower-income families, and about 55% of our students are from minority backgrounds. Our personalized approach to education allows us to address the needs of the whole child–spiritual, academic, physical, social, and emotional. Parents and volunteers are actively involved every day. This approach has resulted in turnover of less than 5%, positive outcomes for our graduates, and a sizeable waiting list.
