International Student Program
To promote connections among cultures, Germantown Friends School welcomes students from outside the United States to apply to our International Student Program (ISP). Because GFS is not a boarding school, a small number of ISP students are accepted into the program. If a student is accepted and enrolls, ISP provides a homestay with a family that is well-known to our community.
The International Student Program (ISP) includes:
- American family homestays
- Periodic progress reports
- One-on-one academic tutoring
- College counseling
- Medical insurance
- Cafeteria meal plans
- New student orientation week
- Application
- Confidential Teacher Recommendation
- Standardized Testing
- Transcript and School Records
- English Writing Sample
- Interviews and Student Visits to GFS
- Timeline for International Applications
- Costs and Important Dates
