LVCHS is proud to have many international students among the student body each year.  Not only do we provide a quality education which is desirable to students from other countries, but the resulting diversity of the student body prepares our graduates for working in a world that is increasingly multi-cultural.

Approximately 10-15% of our students are international students, both those with J-1 and F-1 visas.  Countries represented in recent years include China, South Korea, Thailand, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Vietnam, and others.

While not all of our students are Christian, it is important to remember that we are still a Christian high school.  As such, not only do we have a required class in Bible each year, but biblical principles are also integrated into our other course offerings.

LVCHS does not provide housing for international students.  We work with a number of local agencies who assist us with this task.

Admission Requirements for International Students

• Completed application – see Enrollment Applications page.  (An agency application may be substituted for this as long as it includes the essential material.)  Also see Foreign Student Supplemental Packet

• Immunization records
• Recent report card or transcript
• Non-refundable registration fee
• Proof of family ability to pay (copy of bank statement or other sworn testimony)
• Introduction of student (why do you want to study in the US?  Why have you chosen to apply to LVCHS?  Etc.?  Perhaps via recorded DVD answering the above questions, introducing the student and their family to us?)
