Strong & Getting Stronger
Dear {first name},
The Potter's House is strong and getting stronger. We are seeing our students grow stronger academically, spiritually, and emotionally every day. From kindergartners learning the alphabet for the first time to seniors having profound encounters with God and excelling academically, our students are building resilient faith and discovering their God-given potential.
For Linus, a senior, strength looked like overcoming anxiety: "I am a completely different person than my freshman year. Coming back after Covid, I felt socially anxious. Now, I’ve tried more things that are out of my comfort zone and I've continued to build on that to become the person I am today."
Ben, also a senior, has grown stronger academically and says “I used to struggle with history classes, but Mr. Altena’s class helped me understand its importance. After that, I began to really enjoy my AP US History class and passed the AP test because of it. The teachers are intentional in getting to know every student and their individual needs.”
Maddie, an eighth grader, found strength in community: "Our school is a family environment where everyone is supportive. Our close community has helped me feel confident in my faith and safe in expressing my beliefs."
For Gabby, also in eighth grade, strength meant never facing struggles alone: "Our school has helped in growing my faith, especially when I was struggling. Even when you don't feel it, someone is there for you."
At The Potter’s House, every family invests in their child’s education. Because we offer income-based tuition, these contributions cover only a small portion of the true cost to educate each student. The rest is made possible by the generosity of friends like you who help open doors for students of every background to reach their full potential.
We’re calling on our community to help us reach our bold fundraising goal of $2.1 million by December 31.
Thanks to a group of generous donors, we’re already off to a powerful start with $500,000 given! Together, we can carry this momentum forward and reach our goal!
When you give today, you help ensure that students like Linus, Ben, Maddie, and Gabby will continue to experience the life-changing impact of a Christ-centered education.
Together, we are strong. With your continued partnership, we are growing stronger every day.

82% of student households receive tuition assistance. Over half half of TPH families live below the poverty line.
34 nations and 13 languages are represented in our student body.
TPH offers an accredited curriculum that exceeds state standards, and for the past several years we have celebrated a 100% graduation rate, with many seniors earning AP and dual-enrollment credits.
Spiritual formation is central. From chapel and class discussions, to travel opportunities and innovative education, students are learning how to follow Jesus in daily life.
At most private schools, 80-90% of funding comes from tuition.
At The Potter’s House, our model is the opposite. Tuition covers only a small portion.
Your gifts provide financial aid for our students, making it possible to offer income-based tuition.
