International Student Insurance
The school and the US government require that international students under F-1 visas must have specific health insurance. Health insurance for international students is important to cover the costs of medical care in case of accident or sickness while studying abroad. Our Care Plan offers excellent international student health insurance benefits and extra options to help our students get the right solution for their health insurance needs. The Care Plan offers flexibility and freedom, covering expensive overseas medical care such as hospital accommodation, surgery, and other inpatient treatments. It includes benefits like rehabilitation treatment, outpatient surgery, and medical evacuation, just in case. Please contact the Student Services Office for more details.
REPEATING GRADES
Students currently living in the U.S. must progress to the next year of school. For example, students studying in grade 9 while living in the U.S. must apply for grade 10 the following year.
Students currently living in a country outside of the U.S. may choose to repeat a school grade to allow for adjustment to English immersion and Western education.
