International Students

International students are encouraged to apply to The Atonement Catholic Academy directly or through an agency.  We encourage students and their families to become familiar with our school by reviewing our website as well as viewing our videos on our YouTube Channel.  An important component in the admission process for an international student is the Skype interview, because it is a more personal way to meet prospective international students prior to their admission and learn more about them.

All international students are encouraged to get involved in our clubs, organizations, and athletic teams. This enables new students to forge friendships with peers and faculty as well as to more readily acclimate to the culture and language. 

Please contact Mrs. Susana Trevino, our International Student Coordinator, with any questions you may have about The Atonement Catholic Academy.

* Ontime fee for Students coming in from outside the USA $500.00
