International Admissions
The International Student Program was started in the fall of 2014 and continues to welcome students to our CDS community from around the world under the F1 student visa program. CDS offers a balanced education where we have strong college-preparatory academics in conjunction with excellence in fine arts and athletics. It has been exciting to see our international students branch out into student life and participate in many of these CDS activities.
Virtual Tour
Visit CDS from any location using any mobile device! We are excited to meet you and give you a personal tour of our facilities, including our classrooms, gyms, cafeterias, media center, and much more.

International Student Entry into the United States
In order for an international student holding a foreign passport to enroll at a school in the United States, they must obtain an F-1 (or student) visa. Calvary Day School is approved by the Department of Homeland Security to provide an I-20 to newly enrolled students; a document an international student will need in order to apply for the F-1 Visa. For more information please visit Study in the States.
