HIGH SCHOOL F1 Private School
Private school education in America offers reduced number of students per classroom, low student/teacher ratio, consistent professional development for their faculty in their specialty and personalized dedication to the student. In this category, parents and students can choose a desired location throughout the USA. They can find a school that meets the specific profile of the student including desired areas of academics, sports and activities, tailoring the right fit for the child. Students can come to a school for a full academic year (September to June) or for one semester (September to December or January to June). Acceptance requirements vary by school providing flexibility for our students. We will help children find the right fit taking into consideration their academic expectations and their level of English.
Host Families
HOST FAMILIES: The families are selected and supervised by local coordinators. In many cases the Host family will have a specific relationship with the school that the student plans on attending such as an alumni relationship, a faculty member or a local family whose children attend the school. They are welcoming homes where the student is treated as another member of the family.
All host families undergo national criminal background checks, in-home interviews, and complete home inspections. You can expect your host family to live in close proximity to your selected school.
