Program · High school placement
US high school placement, done properly.
For international student-athletes roughly 13–17 who want to spend one or more years at a US prep or boarding high school — the right academic fit, the right sports program, and a family who understands the F-1 process.
Who it's for
A different age, a different plan.
High school placement is not a smaller college recruitment. It is its own program — with its own calendar, budget, admissions logic and legal path.
Ages ~13–17
Middle school and early high school athletes planning one or more years in the US before college.
Prep & boarding schools
Independent day and boarding schools with real academic identity and organised athletics.
Families ready for F-1
Tuition and boarding are the budget, not athletic scholarships. Visa and travel handled with you.
How it differs
High school placement vs college recruitment.
Two programs, two different conversations. We are honest about which one actually fits your family.
The process
Four calm steps. One advisor throughout.
01
Family conversation
We meet the athlete and family. Goals, budget, timing, and honest expectations for US high schools.
02
Shortlist of schools
A short, hand-picked list based on academics, boarding, sport, and location — not a mass list.
03
Applications & interviews
SSAT/Duolingo where relevant, essays, coach conversations, admissions interviews — supported end-to-end.
04
Enrolment, F-1 & arrival
Offer decisions, I-20 issuance, F-1 visa interview prep, travel and first weeks on campus.
An honest note
No serious advisor can guarantee an admission or a specific school. We can guarantee that we will tell you the truth about fit, keep the process organised, and only recommend schools we would put our own family in.
FAQ
Common questions from families.
- No. For some families it's transformative; for others, staying home for high school and moving to the US for college is the better plan. We'll give you our honest read.
