International Students

Thank you for considering Life Christian School! Our school is located in Aloha, Oregon, a suburb of Portland, and is within 2 hours of the majestic Cascade Mountains to the east and the spectacular Pacific Ocean coast to the west.

Life Christian School has a vision to serve students from all over the world by providing a supportive setting where they can grow in academics, and experience the love of Christ through their participation in the activities of Life Christian. We are fully accredited and offer a rigorous college-prep curriculum. Our teachers are caring and provide a challenging education from a Biblically-based worldview, and our small class sizes enable students to receive individual attention. International students are welcome to participate in our sports programs and other extra-curricular activities.

Life Christian School requires all international students to possess a TOEFL score of 75 or higher to enroll. We may suggest students send us a video or participate in a Skype or FaceTime conversation if hovering around 75. Furthermore, all students must carry a full course load and perform at the comparable grade level of an American student fulfilling all academic requirements.

As an international student at Life Christian you may live with your family or relatives, or you will be placed with a qualified host family who can provide additional support for you during your intercultural journey.
