Welcome, International Applicants & Families
We are happy you are here to learn more about the international admission process. We encourage you to browse our website and learn about our college preparatory program, grounded in the four pillars that represent our students as Scholars, Artists, Athletes, and Leaders. We live our mission every day in and out of the classroom to maximize the potential of every student in a safe, faith-affirming environment. Our student body is diverse, welcoming, and engaged in multiple aspects of our programs across all four pillars as part of their everyday coursework, artistic expression, leadership opportunities, and athletics. We encourage and support our students as they explore their interests and develop the interpersonal skills necessary to become confident, independent critical thinkers, who are prepared for the challenges that await them in college and beyond.
