Potter’s Clay is now accepting applications for the 2013-2014 school year!

Potter’s Clay meets on Fridays at Colonial from 9:00am to 2:30pm and offers classes in Science, History, Writing, and Grammar. The classes are offered for 1st grade through early high school students. In addition, they will offer a class for ages 4 & 5 for the coming school year. They are currently updating their website for next year and updates should be posted by the beginning of next week, if not sooner. They will note on their homepage when the new information has been posted. You can visit their site at www.pottersclayofcary.weebly.com or by clicking on the Potter’s Clay link on the Colonial Homeschool Website.
 They will host information meetings/visitations on February 8, February 15, and February 22 (pending interest) from 9:30am to 11:30am. Please email them at pottersclayinfo@yahoo.com if you are interested in attending one of these sessions as space is limited. Since these dates offer you an opportunity to sit through an information meeting and visit some of their classes, they prefer that children do not attend; however, as moms, they understand that may not be possible. Please include the names and ages in your email of any children that you will be bringing with you.
