St. Pius X accepts students who are enrolling as freshmen, sophomore or juniors*. St. Pius X does not accept international students mid-year.

Because St. Pius X does not have an ESL program, decisions to admit international applicants will be based on:

• English Proficiency (TOEFL Junior Score of 840 or above)

• Previous Academic Merit

St. Pius X will process the I-20 paperwork for all international applicants after they have been accepted and are enrolled. It is the sole responsibility of the international applicant to schedule necessary appointments within their home country to obtain a student F1 visa.

* Students requesting admission for senior year will be reviewed, enrollment may be granted but a diploma from St. Pius X will not be issued.
