International Student Admissions Process

Montrose School has welcomed international students since its inception. Each year several students are accepted to study for a year or a semester. Recently, students have come from Spain, Mexico, Chile, Guatemala, Venezuela, Italy, France, Germany, Korea, and China. Our current domestic students frequently visit their international classmates in their home countries during summer vacation.

Students who come from abroad live with host families and participate in school activities, sports and family events. They are expected to arrive a week before the start of school and remain until mid-December or until the end of the academic year in June.

Please contact the Admissions Office to inquire about tuition and expenses for international students.
