Background

U.S. government restricts international students to study in U.S. public high schools for 1 year only.

  • Community colleges at Washington, Oregon and New York can admit students that are 16 years of age without high school graduation.  These students will earn high school diploma & associate degree in 2 years and transfer to university for the final 2 years of studies.

  • Alternatively, international students can move into private / boarding schools to complete their high school.
