Homeschool Students

Thiel College is a private, homeschool-friendly college for students who learn differently. Some of the aspects of our model that homeschooled students have found appealing include:

Small class sizes
One-on-one academic advising
Thiel Learning Commons for supplemental learning opportunities, such as tutoring and instruction
Internship and career counseling services
Wellness and counseling services

In addition, we have online classes and our Dual Enrollment and College in High School programs, as well as our Excel program for those students looking to elevate their learning skills and study habits as part of the college transition.

We recognize that each homeschool family is unique. To better understand each student's high school experience, we highly encourage an initial conversation with a Thiel Admissions Counselor. Along with your educational goals, we’d like to hear about the courses you’ve studied and activities in which you have participated outside the home.

To ensure that your application is processed as quickly and efficiently as possible, your Thiel Admissions Counselor will be with you every step of the way.
