Students choose two courses in a single subject area or across disciplines—from the arts to sciences. Your student will learn how to navigate college courses and explore potential majors and career paths through small class discussions, our cutting-edge research and technology labs, and creative studios. Wheaton Pre-College will help your student make informed decisions about their future studies and be better prepared for college.

In this one-of-a-kind program, your student will experience a preview of college life as a varsity student-athlete. They’ll take one college-level course and train with NCAA coaches, with a focus on skill development and how to navigate the college athletic recruitment process. Sports Offered: Artistic Swimming, Distance Running, Fencing, Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Swimming, Tennis, Volleyball or Strength and Conditioning (relevant to any sport). All programs are co-ed except for Lacrosse and Field Hockey (women’s).
What Parents Are Saying

We looked at a few programs before selecting Wheaton and it was our favorite. It was flexible in course selection which was a huge factor for us.
