Housing
You live with a host family in the Quakertown area, chosen and visited before you arrive, who welcome you as a member of the household for the whole stay. All meals are provided by the family (breakfast, lunch, dinner). The journey to school depends on the family: by car with them, by school bus where there is one, or by city bus. The families are used to hosting foreign high-school students and know the school; you share their daily life, their weekends and their holidays, which remains the surest way to make progress in English. A contact person on the spot follows your settling-in and remains reachable for you and your parents throughout the stay.
Practical information
Faith Christian Academy is in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, 75 km from Philadelphia (about 30 min by motorway) and two hours from New York. Private Christian school of 400 students, uniform compulsory, school starts late 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, a direct flight to Philadelphia is possible.
