International Experience
As an international student at SD, you will be welcomed and celebrated as an integral part of our diverse, talented, and global student body. Our friendly and supportive community will help you find connections and your special place in your new “home away from home.”
What’s life like at SD?
Friendships come easily at SD. Everyone—from our residential staff, to our boarding and day students—goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and right at home. Orientation trips at the beginning of the year will help you to bond with your new classmates and establish cherished lifelong connections. Your new friends will introduce you to clubs and activities, which will help you deepen your connection to the SD community. In exchange, you’ll get to share your special athletic, artistic, and academic talents with your classmates and teachers!
At San Domenico, you will safely learn independence and resilience in a supportive and nurturing environment. Should SD’s top-ranked academic classes challenge you, your SD mentor, teachers, academic guidance counselors, and the International Scholars team will help you find your way. Likewise, our dorm prefects, residential faculty, and school counselor, are always available to talk with you about the people and things you might be missing back home, to help you solve problems, and to embrace your culture, cuisine, and perspectives!
If living and learning side-by-side with classmates and friends from all over the globe sounds like fun… or developing a deeper sense of your place and purpose in the world calls to you… then SD might just be the place for you!
