International Student Guidelines
 Dominion Christian High School is committed to providing a Christ-centered educational program of excellence, and to making that program accessible to students from foreign countries as well. Please follow these instructions carefully to insure that your application is processed without delay.
Prerequisites for admission
In order to be considered for admission, new students must meet these requirements. Please note that meeting these requirements does not guarantee admission, but only means your application will be considered.
- International students must be able to attend classes beginning the first day of school. Students who cannot make arrangements to arrive in the United States and be ready for the first day of school will not be accepted. We also do not accept international students at the semester break in January.
- Applicants must have a grade point average of 2.5 or better on a 4.0 scale, or its equivalent.
- Students must have the ability to speak, read, write, and comprehend academic English on a high school level. Therefore, the applicant must provide a satisfactory score on one of these English language proficiency tests:
- TOEFL (paper-based): 450 or better
- TOEFL (computer-based): 133 or better
- TOEFL (internet-based): 45 or better
- SLEP: 49 or better on the Scaled Score (not the percentile) for the total test. Note: Forms 1, 2, or 3 are the only SLEP tests accepted; other forms of the SLEP are not acceptable.
- The applicant must not be more than five years older than his/her grade level
