William Jewell College is Homeschooler Friendly! William Jewell College is a preeminent institution in the Midwest for liberal arts programs that educate leaders in the professions and that forge learning for personal wholeness. Founded in 1849 in partnership with the Baptists of Missouri, the College retains a primary commitment to excellence in undergraduate liberal arts programs with an emphasis on moral and ethical values. William Jewell enrolls approximately 1,200 students with an additional 400 in the evening and continuing education divisions. The College is listed in all editions of 'The Competitive Colleges' published by Peterson's Guide. We have been listed as one of America's best colleges in national surveys published by U.S. News & World Report. We were named in the "New York Times" book Best Buys in College Education by Edward Fiske, and we are a Money magazine "Best Buy" college. William Jewell sponsors several overseas programs, including opportunities to study at Oxford and Cambridge Universities in England. The Fine Arts Program, which attracts such stellar performers as Luciano Pavarotti and Itzhak Perlman, is now in its third decade and continues to be a significant addition to the cultural landscape of the metropolitan area. In addition to William Jewell's regular academic program, the College offers innovative curricular plans such as the Oxbridge honors program, created through the generosity and vision of the Hall Family Foundation. An American version of the instructional approach that is traditional at England's oldest universities, the Oxbridge program allows a carefully selected number of students to take their majors tutorially. Extensive scholarship and financial aid packages make William Jewell an affordable option for qualified students seeking excellence in education.
