ADMISSIONS:
International Applicants
Criteria
for Admissions
Applicant
must be in high academic standing and must have at least a basic familiarity
with the English language. All classes are conducted in English.
The entire Montrose international student application should be completed
and sent to Montrose, together with the student's school records for the
current year and two preceding years, and the $100.00 application fee.
The academic and non-academic recommendations should be sent by the corresponding
parties in the envelopes provided. When all the above forms have been
received, the Admissions Committee will schedule a phone interview with
the applicant. Once complete, the admissions committee makes their decision
on admission.
International students are graded on the same standards as American students
with the exception of an optional pass/fail grade (at the discretion of
the teacher) for the first quarter. They receive letter grades for the
remaining three grading periods. Students who receive an F, a D, or a
No Pass may be placed on academic probation at the discretion of the Dean
of Studies.
If a student
is failing the majority of her courses at the end of the year, it is not
likely that Montrose will award credit for the year.
Housing
In keeping with the philosophy of the school, our international students
are placed with Montrose families. Students and host families are matched
by the Director of Admissions to assure a positive experience for both.
It is good for international applicants to have in mind that in the typical
American household the entire family shares in the responsibilities for
the home. Students should be eager to participate in family activities
and help with small jobs. Living with an American family provides international
students with the wonderful opportunity both to improve their understanding
of the English language and also to understand and enjoy American culture
and way of life. American families appreciate learning about international
customs as well.
Enrollment and Immigration Forms
Montrose School will send out an Enrollment Agreement and an I-20 Form
to students once they have been accepted and matched with a host family.
No student will be enrolled prior to being assigned a host family. These
enrollment documents are typically sent in May or June.
