The Avalon School is pleased to welcome international students to live and study in the Washington, D.C. metro area. We
have received applications from young men in Italy, China, and Nigeria. International students will reside with an Avalon host family. This family will provide living quarters, meals and a family away from home for the visiting student.
The Avalon School is approved by the SEVP, Student Exchange and Visitor Program, to accept international students and issue Forms I-20. With an I-20, international students can apply for an F-1 visa to study here in the United States.
The Avalon School partners with The Cambridge Institute to facilitate admissions from China. Prospective families and agents from China can make an inquiry using the web based form found here: CIIE; or send an email to admissions@thecambridgeinstitute.org.
