• Before You Apply

  The school strongly encourages entry into the 9^th or 10^th grade for international students.  Exceptions are made on occasion for well-qualified students interested in other grades. 

  
  The Salisbury School does offer a first year English course to assist you in making the transition into the Upper School academic program; however, strong English skills are required for international applicants.

• Applicants from China, Korea, or Vietnam

  International students from China, Korea, or Vietnam applying to The Salisbury School should work through The Cambridge Network.  We have partnered with them to help students complete the admissions process and ensure proper placement.  All applicants from these countries should direct their inquiries to The Cambridge Network via this student link.

• Applicants From Other Countries

  Step 1 ­ The Application

  Step 4 – Important Paperwork

   

  The Salisbury School must have a copy of the student’s birth certificate, current valid passport with a color copy of student’s photograph, and their immunization records, translated into English.

   

  In order for The Salisbury School to prepare an I­20 form, United States Immigration and Naturalization Services require that all parents of applicants submit proof of their ability to support their child’s tuition.

   

  Step 5 – Schedule an admission interview

   

  When you have submitted your forms to the admission office and all necessary documents are on file, we will schedule a Skype interview. While we welcome international families and students who wish to visit the campus, we prefer you make an appointment.
  Please contact gacarozza@thesalisburyschool.org to arrange your appointment at least two weeks in advance of your arrival.

   

  Step 6 – Admission decision and I­-20 release

   

  Once all of the required material has been received by the Admissions Office, the application will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee and the applicant will be notified of a decision. If accepted, an enrollment contract and $5,000.00 deposit is required before the process for the I-­20 can begin. It is the student’s responsibility to then apply to a U. S. Consular Office for an F­1 visa.
