International Students

Ross School is committed to the continued development of the diverse student body that its mission invites. We seek to attract students from our global community who have a strong spirit, commitment to learning, good character and are interested in service to others. Students who study here have a positive energy and desire to take advantage of the opportunities available at Ross School.

International students may begin their study at Ross School as early as seventh grade. Students follow their grade level course of study, framed by specific time periods, that incorporates knowledge and understanding from the domains of Cultural History, Mathematics, Science, Language Arts, Performing Arts, Physical Education/Well-Being, and Media/Technology. In addition to this rich program of study, there are many electives in media, art, technology, philosophy, literature, Model UN, music, photography, and wellness to support the student’s personal interests and development.

Students who are learning English as their second language are integrated into the School’s unique Spiral Curriculum while improving their English proficiency through placement in skills-appropriate ESL classes. The three levels in the ESL program—Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced—are designed to meet the needs of a variety of students and allow greater flexibility in the program.
