International Admissions

From our hilltop view of the largest freshwater lake in the world, we welcome you.

Marking you feel at home is Marshall's priority. Students perform best academically when they feel safe and cared for in school. Here, students can reach their full potential in the classroom, and beyond.

Marshall's 2017 graduating class earned over $6 million in college scholarships. Over 80% of our seniors were accepted at their first choice school.

Class sizes are small, teachers are attentive to students questions and needs, and the curriculum is broad. Marshall offers a wide selection of college preparatory classes, honors courses, and over 20 Advanced Placement courses.

Since 2008 more than 100 students from nearly 20 countries have made Marshall their choice for a program that positions students for acceptance at America's most top colleges and universities. We have earned a reputation for excelling both at academics and providing a home-like experience for international students.

For these reasons and more, Marshall School is the right choice for international students seeking an American education.

Here, you belong.
