International Student Programs

The International Community School offers three programs for visiting international students between eight and sixteen years old. These programs focus on English language proficiency, academic studies, and cultural awareness. Both programs feature Homestay living arrangements for the international students in which they live with a local family in McMinnville, Oregon while attending ICS.

1. The International School Year Program is from September 1 through June 15. It is for the student who wants to attend an American private school as a full-time student earning credit toward an American diploma. The International students are in classes with their American counterparts, but with additional language support as needed to improve their English language proficiency.

2. The International Summer and Winter Camps at ICS are a rigorous English language and activity based program set in McMinnville, Oregon located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of the United States. The International Summer or Winter Camps are designed for students between 8 and 16 years old with the primary focus of these camps being English Language Study, American Cultural Study, and exciting,educational, and fun-filled Excursions and Field Trips!

3. The International School Camp is an exceptional way to introduce the international student considering enrollment at an American school to the American cultural, English language, academic rigor, and Homestay living that they would experience as a full-time international student. The International Camp Program is a perfect way to determine if this type of educational opportunity is appropriate for your child. Enrollment in these camps may be at any time during the regular school year and may be attended from one week to six months in duration.
