International Admission

We value the perspectives, cultures, and contributions our international students bring to campus. For more than 17 years, FCDS has opened its doors to international high school students.
Forsyth Country Day School accepts applicants for international students applying to grades 9-12 for a homestay experience. We have several partner agencies and would be glad to refer you if needed.
