School requirements:
Requirements for private schools can vary. Some have very strict English proficiency and grade requirements. Some do not accept seniors. Once we learn what is most important to you, we will give you a list of schools that best suits you to choose from. Together we will make a decision that is right for you.
If a school is not on our list or you have a specific school in mind, no worries! Let us know and we can make it happen.
Want to host a private school student?
Families across the U.S. are needed to host private school students. While the need relies on a student’s interest and acceptance into a school near you, there are options available. Families that host private school students are compensated a reasonable stipend to offset the costs of hosting. Please see our Host A Student section for more information.
