Orangewood Christian School welcomes qualified students from around the world to join our Orangewood community.  We welcome students in grades 7-12 who are studying on an F-1 visa to join our campus.  

International students live with American families in a homestay setting, which allows for enhanced cultural integration, accelerated English learning, and personalized care.  These families apply to host students and are trained and supported throughout the year by OCS.

At Orangewood, international students attend classes with their American peers in an immersive English environment. Our unique program fosters a community where international and American students grow together both intellectually and spiritually.
