CHCA ISP offers a different level of service ...
Student integration
Meaningful relationships are the key that unlocks new opportunities. As an international student at CHCA, our Engagement Coordinator will help you find ways to grow and share your talents and interests, while you become part of the student community.
Tailored Academic Oversight
We recognize the necessary learning beyond textbooks required for students to be successful in a second language and culture. Through our Foundations class, academic coaching, teacher communication, and integration programs, we create an environment where every student can experience success.
Detailed Monitoring and Support
Navigating international study can be challenging, so we are here to help. We connect with families via email, phone calls, and video conferences through every step of the application process. Once you arrive in Cincinnati, the International Office is available in person or via a quick text to help you navigate daily life in your new home and school.
