International Student Admissions at Saint James School
Saint James School welcomes international students and their families to our vibrant and diverse learning community for temporary and permanent international students.
Transitioning to a new school and culture can be challenging, and we are committed to a supportive and enriching environment where all students can thrive. Whether you are a military family relocating to the area or seeking a premier educational experience for your child, our private school offers a comprehensive international student program that fosters academic success and cultural understanding.
English Language Learners
Saint James School is Montgomery’s independent school leader in providing comprehensive tutoring support for international students. English Language Learners (ELLs) are those whose English proficiency scores indicate they are a good fit for our international grading scale and are tutored by an experienced instructor to help facilitate a successful transition to an English-speaking school. Students meet with the tutor in small, age-appropriate groups on campus during the school day and develop the confidence and skills needed to transition into our college-preparatory environment.
We’re proud of our robust international population, which includes students from many sectors of the Montgomery community. Students from all over the world who are temporarily in Montgomery or have made the River Region their home benefit from the comprehensive international student program offered at Saint James School.
Our ELL tutor serves as a liaison with parents and maintains close contact with classroom teachers and school counselors to identify the academic needs of each student. The tutor plays an important role in creating a nurturing environment for international students and supports the school’s goal of being a welcoming home that celebrates and embraces our international student population.
*Welcoming New International Students Every Year
Saint James School has been expanding its global community and creating a rich tapestry of experiences and perspectives for elementary school, middle school, and high school students, welcoming 40 to 50 new international students every year who represent the following countries:
* Many international students remain enrolled at Saint James School for multiple years with increasing numbers working towards graduation. Therefore, the overall international student population is much larger than the number above, which only reflects new students each year.
