International Admissions
International students, we know how hard it can be to feel at home in a new country. Our warm and welcoming community makes CVCS the ideal place to learn and grow. Students from all over the world come here for elite academics in a beautiful coastal community.
All students who need a visa to attend school will automatically be enrolled as international students. In addition, students who are NOT United States citizens, who DO possess a green card, or who DO NOT possess native-like fluency in English will be asked to complete the international student application to determine status. The final determination will be made by the Admission Committee prior to offering admission. The status of the student upon enrollment will be the status for the entire duration of study. Based on English proficiency tests, a student may also be enrolled in SDAIE courses to assist with language development. Students are required to have intermediate English proficiency or higher to be admitted.
Thank you for your interest in CVCS. I hope you and your family will consider visiting our vibrant community to see the CVCS difference for yourself. Campus visits for prospective international students and their families are available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 3 pm. To schedule a campus tour, please email me at hzameni@cvcs.org
The opportunities for international students at Capistrano Valley Christian Schools is beyond what you have at other private schools. The continuous love and support at CVCS is similar to a family. As soon as I transferred into CVCS I felt right at home with all of the support from the students, staff, and faculty. Alex C, 9th Grade International Student From China
