WHY WEST PSEO?

At WEST, we come alongside homeschool students and families, supporting the academic and spiritual training already taking place at home. Our PSEO program is designed to equip junior and senior students for the next step in their educational journey—college or university—while keeping them grounded in their values and connected to their community.

Homeschooled high school junior and senior students have the opportunity to earn college credit through high-quality PSEO courses - a true dual enrollment - offered in partnership with local colleges and universities—all from the convenience of the WEST campus.

In this supportive environment, students experience a unique blend of community, faith, and academic excellence, learning alongside fellow high schoolers who are also on the PSEO journey.

Courses are taught by university-approved instructors from Crown College and Bethel University who are also approved by WEST. These instructors are committed to providing a high-quality educational experience while fostering a faith-filled environment. Earned credits transfer easily to other colleges, universities, or trade schools across the country.

Hybrid Course Format meets once per week in person; the rest of the coursework is completed online.

Your registration and endorsement promote the sustainability of WEST PSEO and contribute to a growing academic community rooted in faith.

WEST PSEO isn’t just about earning credits—it’s about preparing students for the future while strengthening faith, character, and community.
