resources for homeschoolers

Homeschoolers Welcome!
Why LETU?

NEARLY 1 IN 5 RESIDENTIAL LETU STUDENTS WAS HOMESCHOOLED

Homeschooling is an investment of time and resources that pays amazing dividends. At LeTourneau University, we understand homeschoolers because we aim to build upon what parents have already begun. Hands-on education, a low faculty-to-student ratio, and an environment that encourages spiritual growth and meaningful relationships makes LETU a great fit for homeschooled students.

LIFE AT LETOURNEAU

The spiritual and academic environment at LeTourneau is ideal for those with a background in homeschooling. A tightly-knit community, orientation, floor unity, weekly floor devotionals, intramural sports and other impromptu entertainment in the residence halls all ensure that our incoming freshmen quickly bond and become comfortable with their school family.
