International Student Program

Welcome! We are so excited that you are considering joining our international student program. Choosing to study in a new country is a big and meaningful step, and we want you to know that you will be supported every step of the way.

At our school, you will find a welcoming community that values each student as an individual. We are committed to helping you grow academically, socially, and spiritually. From your first day, you will be surrounded by teachers and peers who care about your success and are eager to help you feel at home.

Our program is designed not only to challenge you in the classroom, but also to give you opportunities to build friendships, experience new cultures, and grow in your faith as you hear and learn the Word of God.

No matter where you come from, you have a place here. We would be honored to be part of your journey and to walk alongside you as you pursue your goals.

We hope to welcome you soon!

________________________________

All International Students must come through an agency that also arranges and oversees their homestay. (eg. ASSE, PSE)  


If you do not already have an agency,  LHS has partnered with American Home Life International (AHLI).  This organization helps us with all the details required for a student’s admission and their time in America.  (https://amhomelife.org)

   

AHLI is an agency that takes care of our admissions process as well as our homestay details.  To begin the admissions process to LHS you can to https://amhomelife.org to find out more or follow the steps below:


  1. Reach out to AHLI through email – [email protected]
  2.  Let them know you’re interested  in attending our school.
  3.  When you apply with them, they will gather all the information we will need for your enrollment, transcripts, immunizations, etc.
  4.  Once we receive that information, and you are accepted as a student, we will issue your I-20 form, which is a document that certifies a student's eligibility for an F-1 or M-1 student visa to the United States. It's also known as the "Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status".
  5.  All funds will be collected by AHLI and distributed accordingly. 

Our Int'l tuition for 2025-2026 is $12,500, which includes all our fees except for lunches, dances, field trips, and special programs.  AHLI has their own fees for their 24-7 support, Homestay coordination, Host Family stipends, etc.  


As of now, we are not offering scholarships or financial aid for our International Students.  

You are welcome to download our International Student Handbook so you can get a better idea of what to expect if you do decide to attend our school.  


Thank you for your interest!  Your next step is to reach out to AHLI and get the process started!  We look forward to meeting you and partnering with you on  your American High School journey.
