Application Deadlines and Start Dates

How long should one study at a US boarding school?

Students are encouraged to enroll for a minimum of one year. If you are considering entering a US university or college after having graduated from your boarding school we strongly recommend you to spend at least two years at a US high school level to ensure successful university/college studies.

When can I start my studies?

  • All schools have Fall semester start dates. The school usually starts in the end of August or beginning of September.
  • Some schools also allow students to start during the Spring semester which begins in January. Please note that these spaces are usually very limited.
  • A few schools have rolling admission start dates. This means that you can start almost any time of the year.

Please look at the school profile for information about each school's starting date.

When is the deadline for applications?

  • August/September start date: July 15 but it best to apply early
  • January start date (limited availability): December 15
  • Rolling admissions: 45-60 days before start date
