International Student Admissions Process

To apply, you’ll complete an SSAT profile (our code is 7660) and submit the application fee ($150), student essays, and parent statement. 

We ask for recommendations from your principal or counselor, as well as your current math and English teachers. Your current school should also send us official transcripts, translated into English if necessary.

Because English fluency is important to your academic success, you’ll take either the TOEFL (our code is 7422) or the Duolingo English Test. Both give us a good picture of your skills.

Finally, families provide a brief statement accepting financial responsibility for tuition and expenses and a bank letter confirming available funds.

Once these pieces are in, we’ll invite the student and parents for an interview—usually online for international families. You’ll secure your place with an enrollment agreement and deposit if admitted. At that point, we will issue your I-20 form so you can begin the F-1 visa process.

Applications received after these dates are reviewed on a rolling basis as space allows.

Have questions? Write to admissions@tjs.org. We look forward to getting to know your family.
