Admissions Steps: International (9-12)

Portland Christian High School accepts applications from high school-age students, grades 9-12, who are interested in pursuing a university education and learning about the Christian faith.

While most students plan to study until graduation, students wishing to study for only one year are also welcome.

Students will be granted admission based on:

  • Academic history
  • Recommendations
  • Student questionnaire answers

Applicants who have been selected for admission will be provided the I-20 immigration documents. This will allow the student to apply for an F-1 student visa.
