International Students

Applicant Requirements:

• The applicant must be fluent in English; a TOEFL is required prior to application.
• The applicant’s family is responsible for tuition, books, food, housing, and supplemental costs where applicable.
• International students must live with a host family while attending Friends' Central if the parents/guardians do not plan on living in the United States.
• The student and family are responsible for making arrangements for visas, transportation, and finances. All international students must have a valid passport and health insurance.

Admission Interview:
Once the Admission Office has reviewed all submitted documentation, we will then schedule an interview. We encourage all international applicants to visit our Middle & Upper School campus for an interview and to spend a day at the School. If it is not possible to arrange a campus visit, we will organize a Skype interview.

Decisions:
Once the steps have been completed, our Admission Office will review the student's file. If the student is accepted, we will issue an enrollment contract to the accepted student/family via Ivy International. Please sign the contract and send in the requested deposit, then we will issue the I-20. Once your child has obtained an F-1 Visa, please mail or fax a copy to our Admission Office.

We welcome you to contact our Admission Office to talk through the application steps, plan your visit to coordinate with your search for a new home for your family, or for your child, and allow us to answer any questions you might have about this area so we can make your first visit and your transition to Friends' Central meaningful and enjoyable!
