Your student’s current school should return the following documents accompanied with translations in English to the Concordia Prep Admissions Office:

• Official transcripts/academic records
• Conduct records
• Attendance records

We need to receive grades reflecting the students’ current performance and the previous two years.
Documents should be emailed directly to admissions@concordiaprepschool.org by your student's current school.

All current school records and any release documents are due to the School by April 15th for those applying for fall entry and November 15th for those applying for spring entry. 

Concordia Prep requires the completion of the the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for all international students. TOEFL is a standardized test that measure the English language ability of non-native speakers who want to study in English-speaking countries.   

TOEFL Score Requirements
Concordia Prep requires the following scores for the admission into the Upper School:

• 9th Grade: 70
• 10th Grade: 70
• 11th Grade: 80

Families should send a copy of their student's TOEFL score report taken within the last year to the Admissions Office via email. 

An important and necessary component in the admissions process is the opportunity for the prospective student and family to meet with members of our Concordia Prep administrative team.

Our Admissions Office team will set up your admissions interview-either in-person on campus or via video conference call-once the family has submitted a completed application, current school records, and common referrals.  Interviews will held in May/June (Fall Applicants) or November/December (Spring Applicants). 

Once application requirements are fully met, an admissions committee will review the completed application materials and inform the student of the acceptance decision. An accepted student will receive an enrollment package with additional information mailed and/or emailed to the family.

To officially accept your admissions offer, families must electronically sign the formal enrollment contract that can be found in their MyConcordia portal.  Additionally, the enrollment deposit must be paid by credit card, bank transfer, or wire transfer to Concordia Preparatory School. Wire transfer information can be found on the last page of the enrollment contract.

Once all application materials have been received by the Admissions Office, including the enrollment contract, an I-20 will be processed by Concordia Preparatory School. 

The I-20 is a multi-purpose document issued by a government-approved, U.S. educational institution certifying that your student has been admitted to a full-time program of study, and have also demonstrated sufficient financial resources to stay in the U.S. The I-20 is officially titled the "Certificate of Eligibility" because with it, your student is "eligible" to apply for an F-1 student visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. 

The School will not issue an I-20 for students in the waiting pool.

After receiving the I-20, international students are required to pay the SEVIS I-901 to complete their I-20. Link to Pay
