International Students
Thank you for your interest in the International Program at HPCA.  We are committed to Christ-centered, quality education and academic excellence in partnership with family and church within a loving, caring atmosphere.  If pursuing this goal is the desire of the student and his/her family, we will have an effective partnership, thus allowing us to develop a cooperative team effort.
 
HPCA International Students Powerpoint
Information about our academics, technology, fine arts, athletics, and community.
 
HPCA is an F-1 approved school.  Students are accepted from around the world to learn, study, and share life in the hospitality and security of an American, Christian home.  Students from Brazil, Burma, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Lithuania, Mexico, Nigeria, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan and Vietnam have become HPCA Cougars, graduating and continuing their education at top American universities.
 
To ensure a smooth, prepared, and successful transition to American culture and school, HPCA interviews international students who apply via an international educational placement agency.  Approximately 6% of Academy high school students are international students who have come to HPCA through CS Educational, EduKorea, Global Horizons, Nacel Open Door, PSE, and TBI agencies.  We also consider international students that come independently, on a case by case basis.
 
An interview with the International Student Coordinator is arranged once the required information for admission has been submitted.
