I was compensated for my time reviewing this homeschool friendly college and for writing this review. Please see my disclosure policy. I only review products or colleges that I would use in my own homeschool or want my own daughter to attend, and all of my opinions are honest.
Are you homeschooling a teen who is headed to college? Do you want them to go to a small college, like I did? And one that offers a small and supportive learning community?
I recently discovered a great small college that is especially known for its encouraging, student centered environment. It's called Spartanburg Methodist College, a private Christian two-year residential college located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. It is within an hour's drive of Charlotte, and is within a three-hour drive of Atlanta, Geogia; and Charleston, South Carolina.
I love small colleges. My daughter is currently studying on a small campus where she has made many solid friendships and stayed close to her faith. Isn't that what we want for our teens, when they head out to college? You may recall how we made our decision on college here, and everything we thought about, including the benefits of a smaller college campus.
Spartan Methodist College serves only 800 students and it prides itself for its small supportive faith based community. And at SMC, their focus is on helping students successfully transition from high school to college.
One of the only colleges if its kind, SMC offers a liberal arts education exclusively for freshmen and sophomore students in a Christian-centered environment. This liberal arts college is open to students of all religious and nonreligious backgrounds.

Why Study at Spartanburg Methodist College?
1. First, they offer a small supportive Christian learning community! That means that your student will not be in ANY large lecture classes, but instead will thrive in small classes, with personal attention from their professors. They can grow in their faith while experiencing a smooth transition from high school to college level studies.
2. Secondly, their professors also serve as their academic advisors. Your student will work with their professor to plan out all of their courses and ensure that they stay on track. This is a special feature of Spartanburg Methodist College. Advising is so important, and many colleges leave this important function to the counseling office, instead of having the student's professors do it.
3. Students who attend SMC for two years and complete all requirements earn an Associate Degree. This degree can be valuable for students who plan to complete a four-year degree because it shows enplyers and college admissions offices that the student is capable of college-level work.

4. SMC offers transfer assistance to colleges and universities. That is usually left to the student and family to handle. Not at this college! All the details are planned out ahead of time, and one third of all their college students transfer even before graduating.
5. Also all Spartanburg Methodist Associate Degrees are designed to transfer easily to other colleges and universities. Most SMC transfer students enter other colleges as juniors. At our colleges and at community colleges, often not all of the credits earned transfer. That is one of the big benefits of this homeschool friendly college.
