To use this most effectively with homeschooling, we recommend a lesson a day, 5 days a week beginning at age 12, starting with the Pre-Requisite courses.

After the Pre-Requisite courses you are free to choose whatever interests you. For a degree the student should write papers to prove they have learned what is being taught and how it applies to life. The more they write the greater the degree.

What is the best way to organize how many lessons per day, etc.?

Each lesson is about 20 minutes. So it depends on the student and how motivated and engaged they are. Taking notes would help with engagement and retention of the material. You could incentivize the students with more reward for quality notes taken vs auditing the lessons - same as in any college. Also, you are probably working with a limited window of time. So take that number of school days (75 per semester) you have and divide it by the number of lessons in the Pre-Requisite (147) and Systematic Theology (232) subjects (a total of 379) and they could get done the essentials in a year at 2 lessons per day for 2 semesters and a 15 day summer school session. After that they can continue, choosing which ever subjects interest them. If they hold down a part-time or low stress full-time job after that first year, they can build up a nice nest egg to capitalize their marriage. Which beats starting life with a load of debt.

Lesson Duration and Engagement

• Each lesson is approximately 20 minutes long
• Student motivation and engagement play a significant role in learning
• Taking notes can enhance engagement and retention of material
• Incentivizing quality notes with rewards can encourage active learning

Time Management and Course Completion

• With a limited window of time (75 school days per semester), prioritize efficiently
• The essentials lesson count is: 147 Pre-Requisite + 232 Systematic Theology = 379 Total
• Divide the total number of lessons by the available school days to determine the daily lesson load
• Completing 2 lessons per day for 2 semesters and a 15-day summer session means students finish the essentials within a year

Post-Graduation Plan

• After completing the essentials, students can continue learning at their own pace, exploring subjects of interest
• After the first year, holding a part-time or low-stress full-time job can help build a nest egg for future plans, such as marriage
• This approach can help students avoid starting life with significant debt

Getting Your Degree

While auditing courses is free of charge, earning a degree involves fees (calculated as the Levitical tithe) that cover the costs reviewing the submitted materials and interacting with the students. You register by paying for the Pre-Requisite Courses.

You can earn a true degree at Pocket College by demonstrating and documenting your knowledge, understanding, application, and ability to teach Biblical law and how it applies to some area of life. Lesson counts and costs are cumulative. For the purposes of earning a degree, a Course is 20-25 lessons.

All students must first complete the Pre-Requisite Courses - The 10 Commandments, various law courses, and Systematic Theology, especially the Doctrine of Authority. Take notes on each lesson and write a paper (5+ pages) on each course. Requirement: 165 Lessons

Associate Degree - This is earned when you have demonstrated and documented your knowledge of enough Biblical Law associated with a particular subject by writing papers on each course (10+ pages) you take. Requirement: 300 Lessons

Bachelors Degree - This is earned when you have demonstrated and documented your knowledge of enough Biblical Law associated with multiple subjects by writing papers (20+ pages) on each of the subjects involved. Requirement: 300 Lessons

Masters Degree - This is earned when you have demonstrated and documented your knowledge of enough Biblical Law showing mastery of a particular subject by writing a thesis (100+ pages). Requirement: 300 Lessons

Doctorate Degree - This is earned when you have demonstrated and documented your knowledge of enough Biblical Law to formulate doctrine on a subject by writing a book length doctorate (250+ pages). Requirement: 300 Lessons
