Can international students attend U.S. boarding schools?

Yes, and not only can they attend, but many U.S. boarding schools actively recruit international students. Choate Rosemary Hall hosts students from over 40 countries and provides everything from immigration support to international family weekends. Northfield Mount Hermon and St. Paul’s School offer similar services, including English language support and cultural integration programs. These schools are set up to handle the logistics—things like I-20 forms and F-1 visas—so families don’t have to stress. Plus, international students often find vibrant communities waiting for them, with special events, international advisors, and even home-cooked holiday dinners. In short, yes—and they’ll be in good company, too.
