There is a $1,000 fee for all international students the first year and a $200 fee each additional year.  

Foreign Students will be considered for admission after the following sequence is complete:

  • 1. Fill out Application (and all associated paperwork)
  • 2. Provide scholastic transcripts
  • 3. Take the *SLEP Test or TOEFL Junior Test
    • CA requires a combined score of at least 47 on the SLEP or 750 on the TOEFL Junior test. We do not have an ESL program; therefore, students must score well on the SLEP to indicate academic readiness.
  • 4. Return the application materials, transcripts:
    • *funding affidavit, housing affidavit, application fee, and SLEP score to Collegedale Academy.*

Return Material Descriptions:

*Funding affidavit—the individual(s) responsible for the student’s tuition, fees, and living expenses must write a letter and provide bank documents indicating proof of funds.
*Housing affidavit—the applicant must provide proof that living arrangements have been made. Students must live in a family setting. A shared house/apartment with college students does not constitute a family setting.
*SLEP scores—Collegedale Academy requires a combined score of at least 47. We do not have an ESL program; therefore, students must score well on the SLEP to indicate academic readiness.

 

After the applicant receives the I-20 in the mail and pays the SEVIS I-901 fee, the applicant then submits the I-20 with evidence of I-901 payment to the American Consulate in the applicant’s home country. See the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration’s website for further information.
