For students applying from outside the United States who wish to study in a Diocese of Arlington Catholic school.
The Catholic Church has always made every effort to welcome all nationalities into her community of faith. In order to further this effort, the Diocese of Arlington will endeavor to remain certified by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to admit F-1 (Non-Immigrant) students in grades Kindergarten through 12th. The F-1 (Non-Immigrant) student status applies to those aliens who are in the United States for the purpose of attending school.
An international student must have an F-1 Visa or a visa status as indicated on the Non-Immigrant: Who Can Study chart in order to be enrolled in and attend a school in the U.S.
