​The Archdiocese of Los Angeles welcomes international students. Through the cultural exchange of  learning, praying, playing, and growing together, the presence of these international students  enriches the educational and religious experiences of everyone in the school community. 

All international students who do not live with a relative must live in approved housing identified on  the student's I-20 forms. 

The school is not involved in the selection of host families. A letter from the student's  parents/guardians that identifies and approves the host family and place of residence is required. 

The parents/guardians, host family, and/or Agency, if used, shall notify the school if there is any  change in the student's host family or residence. Faculty, staff, coaches, and/or their spouses may  not serve as host families or guardians. 

Host families are required to meet with the school for orientation and periodically thereafter. Host  families must attend meetings and functions required of domestic parents/guardians. Host families  that are not contractually required to attend safe environment training are nevertheless encouraged  to do so. 

All international students are required to be enrolled in a religion course for a grade/credit each  semester (see Knowledge of the Faith). The international student will be expected to participate, as  appropriate, in religious functions and events. 

The school is not permitted to waive all or part of international students' tuition, or grant them any  type of scholarship or financial aid. The full international student tuition must be listed on the I-20 form and the school is bound by federal regulation to collect the specified amount.
