As part of the registration process, international students will be given an English proficiency exam to help determine which English class they should take. English as a Second Language (ESL) class is provided to assist students with basic language skills as well as cultural and academic adjustments. If a student is placed in ESL class, she/he would be expected to take Integrated English the following year which is an advanced ESL class. Upon completion of Integrated English, the student would be encouraged to take the English class corresponding to his/her grade level.

Grade level will be determined by the Curriculum Committee based on transcripts received and results of the English proficiency exam. All transcripts must be submitted with the completed application. Once grade placement has been determined at the beginning of the school year, any additional transcripts will not be considered. Also refer to the section named Grade Placement mentioned earlier. New international students will be evaluated at the end of the first grading period. If a student receives any failing grades, a change of program and/or school may be recommended.
