International Students will need an M-1 Visa.

According to SEVIS guidelines, students CANNOT have both an M-1 & F-1 Visa at the same time.

Canadian citizens do not need an M-1 Visa to study or participate in an exchange program in the U.S. However, Canadian students do need to obtain an I-20 (or DS-2019) Certificate of Eligibility from Jesus School. Upon receipt of the I-20 (or DS-2019), the student will be registered with SEVIS, the student tracking system, will be assigned a SEVIS number, and will be required to pay a registration fee. When crossing the border to begin their study or exchange program in the United States, the student will need to provide the Officer at the port of entry:

• A Canadian passport
• The original I-20 (or DS-2019) certificate
• Proof that the SEVIS fee has been paid
• Proof of ability to pay school fees and living expenses in the United States
• Proof of ties to Canada

We do not require a TOEFL, but students will need to pass a verbal interview and be able to fluently read, write and comprehend in English.

Jesus School does not provide health insurance. International students are encouraged to find out if their travel insurance covers health care while living in Florida. This will be the student’s responsibility. Shepherd’s Hope is a faith-based nonprofit organization that provides free healthcare for the uninsured in Central Florida.

At Jesus School we ask that you keep this in mind when deciding what to wear. You can actually show honor by the way that you dress. Please dress in a way that does not show cleavage or your midriff, and shorts should be past your fingertips. We also ask that you not wear any clothing with profanity, symbols of death, demonic emblems, etc.
