Capital High School

Capital High School is in Boise, the capital of Idaho, a city in the American West at the foot of the mountains, known for its mountain-bike trails, its rivers and its ski resorts less than an hour away. Public high school of 1,162 students, no uniform, school starts week 3 of August. Stay of a full school year or one semester. You arrive a few days before school starts; the family or their contact person meets you at the airport nearest to them, not necessarily a large hub — the airport and the exact date are confirmed as soon as the family is confirmed. You leave with an F-1 student visa issued by the US embassy once the school has accepted you; Move & Study guides you through the I-20 form, the appointment and the interview. Health and accident insurance is extra and compulsory; we offer it with the application. Admission is on application: ages 14-18, intermediate English minimum, and a complete application file: report cards for the last two years, ELTiS English test, a self-introduction by the student (their passions, what they like), a letter from the parents describing their child, a letter from the English teacher, a medical form and parental authorisation; the exact list depends on the school and is provided by Move & Study. From France, allow a day of travel with a connection to Boise airport.
