At Furtah Preparatory School, we value the education of our students, not only in the classroom, but also in life. We believe that exposure to other cultures and languages is an inherent part of learning to be a world class citizen. At FPS we are able to introduce the world to our students here in America because we are an I-20 approved school, allowing international students to attend our school.


Our international student base continues to increase, and though in the past our international students have come to us for the purpose of graduating from an American high school, we are now hosting year-long exchange students as well. Our current international population consists of students from China, Korea, Germany, Japan and Switzerland. In the past we have hosted students from Indonesia and Ethiopia as well.
At Furtah Preparatory School, the international students are highly involved in sports and fine arts alike, and we welcome them as a part of our family community.


For more information, please contact Registrar Elizabeth Kovacich at bethkofps@gmail.com, Development Coordinator Sarah Trousdale at sarah.trousdale@furtahprep.org, or call the main office and speak with Claudia Heinen at 678-574-6488. Our website, www.furtahprep.org will give you an idea of our school size, location, and activities.


If you don't already have an agency you are working with as an exchange student, please visit http://www.gisa-schools.org/gen_resources.asp to see a list of approved CSIET (Council on Standards for International Education) agencies, or we can recommend an agency for you as well.
