No, there is no additional application fee for international students to apply to San Domenico. However, San Domenico does charge annual service fee to international families to cover extra costs associated with the International student living experience, i.e., airport pickup services, etc.

International students are not required to visit San Domenico for their interviews. While we would love to meet you and give you a tour of the campus, those who are unable to visit our campus can schedule their interview via Zoom. Students must have completed a student inquiry and be in the “started” mode of their application, on either SAO or Ravenna, to schedule an interview.

The recommended minimum score for rising 9th graders for English proficiency consideration is 85+ on TOEFL. Some other widely-used language proficiency markers that we accept are as follows: Duolingo: 110 or higher; IELTS: 6.5 or higher; CEFR: B1-B2 or higher.

At San Domenico, we believe that meaningful English interactions take place within the structure of a regular classroom and we do not provide separate ‘stand alone’ ELL classes. However, building language proficiency in a rigorous academic environment can be challenging, so all 9th grade students who do not speak English as a primary language are enrolled in an additional course called Academic English Language. This credit course is an accompaniment to their regular English 9 course and is designed to increase written and spoken English fluency. Coursework focuses on developing strong composition, grammar, vocabulary, listening and speaking skills.
