International Exchange Guidelines
Ursuline High School accepts international students as part of our community. Typically, international students are one year exchange students, usually juniors. After spending an academic year at Ursuline High School, they return to their home country to finish their last year and graduate from their own school.
We have had international students from Spain, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Singapore, Japan, Korea, China, Argentina, Columbia, Mexico, and Canada and look forward to adding more countries to our list. Our international students stay with host families, attend classes, and have had a strong impact on our community. From sharing their culture, making new friends, or teaching groups about their country, our international students are vital members of the community.
Interested students should have strong verbal and written communication skills as well as be proficient in their English skills. Students also need to be very independent and self-sufficient with the maturity to spend a year away from home.
We strongly recommend that students apply in their own country through one of the international educational exchange organizations. These organizations screen the applicants for English proficiency, handle all of the application procedures directly with Ursuline High School, coordinate the host family selection, arrange for the one-year Visa to study in the USA, and oversee the travel arrangements to and from the USA.
