International Student (I-20) Admissions
Thank you for expressing an interest in Hope Lutheran School.
As you will see, when you tour the campus and meet the staff, children, and families of Hope Lutheran, it is the people and nurturing environment that make Hope Lutheran a special place for your child’s education.
An I-20 is a U.S. Government document that is needed to apply for the F-1 Student Visa. Once you get the I-20, pay your I-901 fee, and make an appointment at your local US Embassy to apply for the F-1 Student Visa. This can be done up to 5 months before the start of school. If your student already has an F-1 Student Visa, he or she would be a “transfer” student from another U.S. school. Fees are the same. You must finish all documents and fees before the previous school is asked to transfer the I-20 to Hope Lutheran.
Below is an outline of the admissions process for International (I-20) students for grades K-8. It may answer many of the questions about how to enroll your child at Hope Lutheran, explain what information or items are needed from you, and detail Hope Lutheran's expectations during the process.
- Schedule a personal tour of our campus and meet with our Principal. Informational packets are provided during the tour and students are always welcome to tour with a parent/guardian. For families abroad, contact our main office and the application materials will be emailed or mailed directly to you. Items included:
- International Student Application for Admissions Packet
