Home Schoolers

The first thing that pops out about CU is the way we see you. We see you in 3D. We know that as a homeschool student, you value hard work, serving, and you’re not afraid to share your faith.

Our homeschool students at CU add a great dimension to our community. They bring different perspectives on learning, authenticity, and have the nerve to be exactly who they are while following a living and loving Jesus Christ.

We think you or your parents might have some questions. Your personal admissions counselor can help you find answers. We’ll get you started right now.
