A safe, structured, and personal American education — SEVP certified, with free ESL support, flexible boarding options, and college counseling from day one.
SHA is SEVP-certified and issues Form I-20 directly, supporting your child's F-1 student visa from start to finish.
English support is included at no extra cost at every grade level, so students settle smoothly into American classrooms.
Small classes and a warm, close-knit campus where every international student is known, supported, and feels they belong.
UC A–G curriculum, 31 AP courses, and dedicated counseling — 90% of graduates reach Top-50 U.S. universities.
Most international families enroll full-time for the complete American education. For a shorter visit, our Short-Term & Summer programs welcome students year-round.
For students in grades K–12 — all instruction in English, the F-1 visa with Form I-20 issued by SHA, and the full advantages of a WASC-accredited American education. Choose to live as a day student, or board in our care from Grade 6.
For students living with a parent or an approved local guardian. Your child attends as a day student and goes home each afternoon — with the full academic program, free ESL, and college counseling from day one.
For students whose family is overseas — full residential care at the Eagle's Nest, with three options to suit every family:
Boarding is available from Grade 6 (middle school). Younger students may board only by special approval.

The biggest question international parents ask: who takes care of my child day to day? Here is the team — by role, by name. With our dorm team included, it's even more people in your child's corner.
