We welcome inquiries from accredited agencies as well as individuals, and have hosted students from many countries, including: Poland, China, Korea, Spain, France, Thailand, Ivory Coast and Brazil. Through our application process, we hope to discover if Saint Joseph Central High School offers the right setting for your academic success, as well as social, athletic, and extra curricular activities that match your interests. The list below will help you decide if Saint Joseph is the right school for you.

• All students must complete an application. Please read the paperwork requirements and download an application to begin. Please Note: if you have completed an application with an agency and have representation, that form can be submitted as your application. The application form can be found here.

• All incoming students must complete the Fluency agreement form prior to acceptance. The Fluency agreement form can be found here.

• Tuition must be paid in full by September 1 for the upcoming school year. Tuition for the 2010/2011 year is $8800 and does not include the cost of books. All financial information can be found here.

• Returning students must complete the re-enrollment form to secure a position for the following school year. The re-enrollment form can be found here.

• As stated in the Paperwork Requirements all students must report to school with a current (within one year) physical examination and vaccination record. This includes new and returning students. Information about paperwork requirements can be found here.

• Books are ordered through an online company and are the responsibility of the student. New students can consult with Mrs. Dunham through e-mail to begin course selection, however, some course selections will have to wait until the student arrives at the school. A thorough assessment of Math and English skills may be necessary to determine appropriate placement. Books are usually shipped within 3 days, so the student will be able to order books at the beginning of the school year without much delay. It is recommended that returning students complete their book ordering over the summer and may use the school address to ship to. Some books may be needed for summer assignments. It is the responsibility of the student to check the website for summer reading assignments.

• Students returning for their senior year should read the Senior Requirements to become familiar with the documentation requirements for applying to college. This list offers guidelines to help facilitate this process when the student returns to school in September. Senior Requirements can be found here.

• Students will also sign a contract agreeing to speak English only when at Saint Joseph or on any school sponsored activities.

• Please note: Saint Joseph does not allow the use of any electronic translators, cell phones, etc. to be used during the school day.
