International Students
Fredericksburg Christian Schools Welcomes International Students!
FCS has welcomed students from China, Denmark, Germany, Guatemala, Japan, Korea, Montenegro, Nigeria, Russia, Serbia, South America, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
In order for an international student to be considered for admission, the following must first be completed and submitted:
1. New Family Application with the application fee (Please list both the home information as well as the U.S. guardian information.)
4. Copy of transcripts translated for Guidance Counselor
5. Copy of passport
6. Copy of birth certificate
7. Copy of up-to-date immunizations
8. International Student Data Form. Please download the form and print it out. It must be signed by your sponsor and a bank official. If you are unable to print this form, you may provide the same information on a separate sheet of paper. If a bank official is unable to provide a certification on the form, a separate certification signed by a bank official, a bank statement, or other documentary evidence of financial support may be submitted. These alternate documents must clearly contain the applicant’s name so that they may be properly filed.
♦ An adequate proficiency in English is also required.
| Return all completed forms to: Fredericksburg Christian Schools Admissions Office 9400 Thornton Rolling Road Fredericksburg, VA 22408 USA |
Once all the above is received and the student has been interviewed, tested and accepted to the school, a Form I-20, “Certificate of Eligibility for Non-immigrant (F-1) Student Status,” must be issued. The Form I-20 is needed to apply for the F-1 Visa at United States consulate and embassies abroad, apply for change of non-immigrant status in the United States to F-1, or secure permission to transfer to Fredericksburg Christian Schools from another school in the United States in continued F-1 status.
Please note that students must demonstrate adequate financial resources to receive certification. For more information about the financial requirements, please see the International Student Data Form.
Students who hold a different non-immigrant visa status and wish to change their status must complete all the items listed above.
