Pinecrest Academy accepts a very limited number of international applicants (I-20 students or students attending while on a parent's work visa) at the beginning of each school year. We do not accept I-20 students in grades below 6th nor do we accept 12th grade applicants. We will consider all applicants except 12th who will be residing with a parent on a work Visa in the United States. If you need assistance with locating a host family for an international applicant, we have independent agents who can help.

All international students who apply to Pinecrest Academy must meet the following requirements in order to be considered for admissions:

  • Must possess significant fluency in English, written and spoken, as demonstrated through a series of tests (SLEP for middle school applicants and TOEFL for high school students) and personal interviews
  • Must have demonstrated superior academic and personal achievement in their previous schools
  • Must take the SSAT, which will be a measurable component in the admissions decision process.
  • Must complete the checklist of items below which includes the appropriate grade-level application
To assist our international students with the transition to the United States and Pinecrest Academy, all "enrolled" international students must attend the Summer Program for International Students. The dates for this mandatory program will be announced through the official Admissions determination.  Please note that an "enrolled" student is a student who has met all the requirements outlined above, has completed a contract with full payment, and has received an I-20 from Pinecrest Academy.
