International students must meet the same requirements as all other students and be fluent in English, reading, writing and speaking. International students must demonstrate their English ability through the admissions process and also by taking either the TOEFL or the iTEP SLATE and must interview, in person, prior to acceptance.

All international students who wish to be considered for admissions to John Paul II High School must complete the following:

• Online Application

• Two teacher recommendations: Teacher Recommendations can be found as part of the on-line application.  Please print the two recommendation forms and deliver them to your current school. The recommendations must be translated into English.

Any international student enrolling for the first time at John Paul II High School will be assessed an additional fee of $7,500.00.
