An Academic Environment That Values Independent Learning
At Andrews University, homeschooling is not treated as an exception. It is recognized as an intentional and legitimate educational choice.

A Longstanding Commitment to Homeschooling
This respect for independent learning and educational choice has long been part of Andrews University’s history.
Long before homeschooling was widely recognized as a legitimate educational pathway, Andrews faculty and leaders were engaged in research, advocacy, and academic work that helped shape national conversations around home education. This commitment reflects a broader institutional belief in educational choice, thoughtful instruction, and learning grounded in purpose.
That legacy continues in Andrews University’s leadership. President John Wesley Taylor V was himself homeschooled and has spent decades contributing to the study and advancement of home education through research, teaching, and public scholarship. His work has helped elevate homeschooling as a credible and respected approach to learning.
Today, Andrews University continues to welcome students from homeschool, hybrid, and traditional educational backgrounds. Homeschooling is not treated as an exception, but as one of many valid pathways into a rigorous, faith-centered academic experience.
