International Student Program

Notre Dame Academy is a SEVIS-authorized school with the ability to issue the Form I-20 for an F-1 Student Visa. We recommend a minimum enrollment of one (1) academic year, which runs from mid-August through the end of May. Families may contact Notre Dame Academy directly for further information on our program.

For students seeking an F-1 Student Visa and applying from outside of the United States, please contact Notre Dame Academy's International Admissions Associate, Dr. Steven Walter (swalter@ndacademy.org), prior to completing an application.

Grade levels available in this program:

• Upper School grades 9th-12th.
• Due to the rigor of the 12th grade curriculum, please note that we will not be able to accept any NEW international students directly into the 12th grade. Students who enroll as a 9th, 10th, or 11th grader will be able to proceed to 12th grade.
