Marian High School Recognizes the Needs of International Students

Coming to a high school in a foreign country can be a daunting experience for any teenager.  To ease the transition, Marian High School provides several programs designed especially for international students.  During the school year, Marian High offers ESL (English as a Second Language) which includes skills development. 

We also provide opportunities for international students to better make a smooth transition to our high school through our Multicultural Club.  This club provides social opportunities and activities outside of the classroom.


New Policy for International Students

Beginning in the 2011 school year, Marian High School will be implementing a new policy regarding the international students. All international students will be required to retain their agency support each year they attend Marian High School. The agency provides numerous services for the student and his or her parents. These services include:
           
            ● finds an appropriate host family
            ● ensures the safety of the adolescent
            ● maintains communication between the school and the student’s parents
            ● oversees the academic developments of the student
            ● provides opportunities for cultural enrichments
            ● ensures that the health forms and financial arrangements are complete
            ● oversees social support for the student
