Students enrolled in SMG’s F-1 Private Basic program will enjoy a more affordable private high school program compared to our traditional F-1 Private Choice Program option. The price of the program is among the lowest for all the F-1 private high school programs due in large part to the fact that it is a no-choice program, meaning that students do not choose the region of the US in which they are placed. As an F-1 Private Basic student, you will be placed with a volunteer host family and attend an elite private school in the US. You’ll have a well-rounded high school experience, with the opportunity to participate in school sports and activities. You can also choose to study for multiple years and, if enrolled for over a year, can graduate from your school.
All high schools enrolled in the program have a minimum of 100 students. Students interested in a larger class size can choose our Basic Plus option, which guarantees a school with at least 200 students.
