King's Schools do not offer any ESL courses.  King's requires that International students enter the school year, at grade level, proficient in English with a TOEFL score of 61 or better.  King's will consider an IELTS score of 6.0 or better, if a TOEFL score is not available.

Housing Information

King's Schools does not offer boarding for International students and requires that all International students not living with their natural parent(s) or guardian reside with a host family over 30 years of age in proximity to King's Schools.  It is the responsibility of the student to make their own arrangements for a host family while attending King's Schools.

* Please Note: To be admitted as a student at King's, a completed application, including all of the pieces mentioned above, must be submitted to the Admissions Office.  Once received, the student will be contacted for an interview (which may be done via Skype) in order to be accepted as a student.  Once accepted, you or your child's host family will receive an enrollment contract.  When the contract is signed and returned with a non-refundable registration fee of $225, your child will be considered an enrolled student at King's Schools.

King's Schools may issue an I-20, as needed, upon receipt of all the above documents, completion of a successful interview, and receipt of completed enrollment contract with $225 non-refundable registration fee.
