The same pathway, with added support.
-
Initial Inquiry & Visit
Submit an inquiry and schedule a visit—in person or virtually. We strongly encourage families to experience our community firsthand, and virtual meetings with an admissions counselor are always available.
-
Application Submission
Submit by December 15 for priority consideration. Include official academic transcripts translated to English, English proficiency scores if applicable, teacher recommendations, and a personal statement.
-
Assessment & Interview
Assessments and interviews can be completed virtually. English proficiency evaluation is conducted by a THS teacher and may be done over Google Meet. TOEFL scores are not required.
-
Decision & Visa Support
Upon enrollment, we issue I-20 forms for students requiring F-1 visas. Processing typically takes 2–3 weeks and requires a signed contract, financial documentation, passport copy, and SEVIS fee confirmation.
Flexible assessment. No TOEFL required.
Students whose primary language is not English may demonstrate proficiency through TOEFL, IELTS, the Duolingo English Test, an SSAT with Writing Sample, or an academic interview conducted by a THS teacher over Google Meet. Requirements are flexible based on grade level, prior English instruction, and demonstrated ability—we work with each family to find the most appropriate path.
