International Students

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.

Step 1 ­ The Application

The international application is the segway to our admission process. Click here to download the International Student Application. Submit your application with a $200.00 application fee. Please include a current, color photograph of student.

Step 2 – Academic Transcripts

Please submit with your transcript, grade reports from the last two years, including any test results, translated into English.

Step 3 – Teacher Recommendations

Teacher recommendations (we require one from English teacher and one from a Math teacher) must be translated into English. Click here to download recommendation forms.

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.

Numerous opportunities are available to our students to explore their interests and showcase their talents. Model UN, Mock Trial, National Honor Society, Key Club, Band, Choir, Drama, Latin National Honor Society, Cultural Exchange Club, and Environmental Club are just some of the opportunities available to our students. Athletic opportunities include soccer, golf, cross country, basketball, lacrosse, swim, and tennis. All of these activities provide the opportunity to bring students and community together.

Your student will be assigned a coordinator to oversee your child’s academic, social and personal growth while enrolled at TSS. They will provide support and coordinate guidance to ensure that your student is on the right path to achieve all of their goals, and to become a successful member of the school community.
