We are excited to have the opportunity to host international students here at Calvary Chapel Christian School. International students, grades 6-11 who are prepared to mainstream into English speaking classes, are welcome to apply for admissions. This opportunity allows students to study and acquire an American education taught through a Biblical Worldview. CCCS offers college preparatory academics including AP courses and a well-rounded approach to education including sports, arts and music. CCCS issues I-20 status to students who meet all of our general admissions requirements and who will be living with a Christian family during their stay.

What scores does CCCS require for TOEFL/SLEP?
International students applying to CCCS are required to submit scores from either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the Secondary Level English Proficiency (SLEP) test in addition to the other materials gathered in the admission process. Students with scores in the lower range can be successful, but their diligence and outgoing personalities are key factors of their success.


Standardized tests such as the TOEFL or SLEP are only a partial indicator of a student’s English competence.

To apply, download the International Student Program application packet here and follow the instructions therein.
