Do you live outside of the United States? Do you or your child desire to go to school in the U.S.?
Lake Worth Christian School of Boynton Beach, Florida, now offers an International Student Education Program. The program is designed to offer an excellent education from a Christian worldview to students from outside the United States. We are able to issue your eligible student an I-20 which will allow them to obtain an F-1 Visa and graduate from our High School.
We have been blessed to have had students from Korea, China, Lithuania, Gabon, The Netherlands Antilles and Sweden.
Goals:
One goal is to broaden the backgrounds and nationalities of our student body in order to decrease our homogeneity and increase the exposure of our current students to cultures different from their own. This can bring students to better understand of a global perspective, meet Christians from other countries, and raise awareness of their Christian calling to serve. By introducing international students into our school we can begin that process of understanding and provide a wonderful opportunity for both our students and international students to develop cross-cultural understanding.
