Enrollment & I-20 Process

International Student Enrollment Process

Upon receiving an acceptance letter, the following items are necessary before attending classes at St Joseph High School:

A student is not enrolled until a $1,000 deposit is sent to our bursar, Joanne Rodgerson (203) 378-9378 x310 or jrodgerson@sjcadets.org
A tuition agreement must be completed and returned to the Bursar by the person responsible for the student’s tuition. Tuition for the 2020-2021 academic year is $21,000, which includes textbooks and additional academic support. Tuition must be wired to SJHS directly.
Tuition payments must be received by St Joseph High school in compliance with the payment option designated in the tuition agreement.
Proof of legal guardianship (for example, a power of attorney document) must be provided to the Director of Enrollment Management, Jessica Costa at jcosta@sjcadets.org.
After the student is enrolled (meaning payment received), St Joseph High School will issue an I-20 directly to the student. Contact Ms Jessica Costa (jcosta@sjcadets.org) for all matters concerning I-20s.
