F-1 Visa Private Schools

Private High School (F-1 Visa)

IACE offers guardianship and sponsorship and with the recommendation of IACE, we can help international students gain acceptance to high quality academic private high schools. We choose schools that have documented high quality academics and facilities and are top ranking. At IACE we chose schools that offer great education but also a great atmosphere to live and study. We also place our students with host families in a caring, safe and nurturing environment that live close to school, provide monitoring to both student and host family and provide medical insurance for the academic school year.

Private schools offer international students the chance to attend 1-4 academic years. Students can chose to study 1 year only or reapply with IACE to continue your studies through your senior year (12th). Private Schools do NOT accept incoming students entering 12th grade. For Private Schools that do not offer ESL, you will be required to have a minimum SLATE, TOEFL Jr. or TOEFL iBT score to be considered for acceptance. Students that are interested in applying to a private school that does not offer ESL need to be English proficient. During the application process with IACE, you will be required to submit one of the above test scores. Once it is determined what private school is the best fit for the student, IACE will then begin the application process with that private high school. Please note that some private schools require a particular test so the student might be required additional testing.

These scores can range from a minimum SLATE 4.5-6.0, TOEFL Jr. 791-850, TOEFL iBT 59-80 You can click on the blue link below to read the private school profile/minimum score requirement or at the top of the webpage (students- go to Schools and choose either public, or private and to the right each school profile is listed).

Some private schools have a deadline. This means after that deadline they will not accept any additional students. Some private schools have a deadline of "rolling". This means the school has a limited number of spaces for international students and once the limit is reached they will no longer accept students. The best way to increase the chances of being accepted is to apply as early as possible!

Below is a list of local Private High Schools that IACE offers and has established a very close relationship and because of this relationship, IACE can recommend and present a student to the school helping that student gain acceptance. Please note that if a student has a TOEFL IBT of 58 and the private school the student chooses has a minimum requirement of 59, IACE will not be able to recommend the student as their English proficiency is not high enough for that particular school.
