A Full-Immersion Oakcrest Experience

International students in grades 7–11 have the opportunity to experience a full-immersion English program at Oakcrest. Students take the same courses as their domestic classmates and become fully immersed in the academic and cultural life of our school.

Students live with carefully matched host families whose daughter(s) currently attends or formerly attended Oakcrest. Depending on the program selected, students may join us for a quarter, semester, or full academic year.

The result is more than an academic experience. It is an opportunity to become part of a community, form lasting friendships, and experience American culture from within an Oakcrest family.
