[NOTE: If you have not watch any or all of Wednesday, don't worry. There will be no spoilers and everything will be explained so everyone can enjoy. Just come and be ready to express you slightly twisted side.] At Nevermore Academy, we believe that outcasts should be celebrated and embraced. Join us and let your imagination run wild. Whether you want to create the next great horror masterpiece or just have a good laugh, we have something for everyone. We can't wait to see what terrifying creations you come up with. Our daily dress-up themes will take you on a journey to the macabre. Don the guise of your favorite Nevermore character, or embrace the darkness and come as a monstrous version of yourself. Each day, campers will have the opportunity to tap into their inner monsters and let their imaginations run rampant. Our artistic work will allow you to delve into the sinister side of creativity. Pick from a wide range of mediums, including painting, drawing, sculpture, and mixed media. Our final event, The Poe Cup, is a competition for the most artistic and sturdy boat, will be a highlight for the camp. Preparations for this event start Day 1. Boats can be created out of any materials and definitely need to be artistic, but also functional. The boat parameters are maximum 12 inches long x maximum 6 inches wide x maximum 3 inches tall (these are exact but about the size). It must stay afloat without any outside help.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Social Studies/History
I have always been very curious and creative and I love to inspire it in kids (both my own and others) as well. I like to teach through projects, which give students a choice on the way they learn and show their understanding. I also love to teach through games and like to combine game elements in my classes.
I believe history, studied in context, to be extremely important. In fact, it's one of our best teachers. The other "subject" I believe to be of high importance is Logic. Unfortunately, logic has long been left off most curriculums. Knowing how to examine events and history through logical thinking and analysis gives us a deep, true understanding of our world.
I'm a big believer in every parent having all the need to school their children all the way through high school. So, if you are ever in doubt, let me encourage you.
My educational consulting company, It's A Potsick Education, exists to build up curious, creative learners. I do custom content/lesson design, private, online events, consulting, and more. Message me for anything you need.
I was a classroom teacher in the public schools for over 15 years and, for the past 14 years, have been helping my wife homeschool as well. I currently hold state certifications in Florida (certificate # 960883) in the areas of Middle Grades Social Science and Language Arts and Elementary Education. I have extensive classroom experience with all Elementary and Middle Grades subject content and have done private tutoring for many years in Math, Civics, Science, and Language Arts.
