Fast Facts
As a college preparatory school, international students attend classes with local students who share their same academic goals for attending college. Our challenging academic curriculum includes not only advanced science, math, and humanities courses but also has a rich spectrum of visual and performing arts classes. In addition, we have a college counselor dedicated to guiding students through the college admission process. In the past three years, Menaul students have gone on to colleges such as Amherst College, UC Berkeley, University of Michigan, Penn State, and more. In the Class of last year, all of our graduating international students went on to college or university.
Admission to Menaul School is competitive. Students admitted must demonstrate an ability to succeed in a college preparatory environment and demonstrate a willingness to contribute to our community.
Menaul School is SEVP certified to issue F-1 visas to international students. If an international student has been accepted, a letter of acceptance and enrollment contract will be sent. When the contract is signed and returned with the $2000 deposit, an I-20 will be issued and an appointment with the US Consulate can be scheduled.
