As an international student at Williston, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about American culture, gain fluency in English, and assimilate into the United States’ educational system in preparation for attending an American college or university. You can also take full advantage of enrichment in the arts, athletics, community service, and extracurricular activities. This will leave you well prepared and well rounded, academically and socially, for the challenges after high school. Many international students go on to attend some of the most competitive universities and colleges in the United States. All classes are taught in English, and we offer an Advanced English Language Learners course. Our goal as a school is to create a community of students from a variety of backgrounds who can connect over common interests and talents. We work to educate all our students\u2014both domestic and international\u2014about the important role different cultures and backgrounds play in creating a global community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

Step 3: Submit Standardized Testing<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]\n
\n

For proper class placement purposes, we require students who do not identify English as their first language to submit results from the TOEFL, Duolingo, or a similar English language proficiency test (we do not accept the SLEP or Junior TOEFL). We also recommend that these students take the SSAT, but individual students can also communicate with their admission interviewer about a possible waiver of the SSAT. If a student has studied in an English-speaking school for three or more years, the English language proficiency testing requirement can also be waived.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]
