International Students

A safe, accredited American high school experience for international students

WHY WE HAVE AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT PROGRAM

Altamonte Christian School began in 1966 with its purpose to offer a quality education built on biblical foundations that equip our students to reflect Christ to the world. We live in a global culture that is increasingly interdependent. As a Christian school, we feel compelled to equip our students to be active participants in the emerging global community while at the same time leaving our Christian footprint as a witness to the world.

Bringing international students into our small intimate campus allows us to both shape our stateside students’ awareness of and instill compassion for the world but also allows international students to encounter a new culture, new customs, and language within a Christ-centered safe community.

We guide your child through the entire F-1 visa process and provide a nurturing, college-preparatory education in the United States.
