International Admissions

As part of the School’s focus on global vision and responsibility, Lauralton Hall is pleased to welcome a limited number of international students who will discover an exemplary education* and a safe community in which they can experience North American culture.

“Lauralton was more than just a school to me—it was a home away from home. At 15, I traveled alone to a country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and LH became a place of comfort and belonging. It taught me lessons beyond textbooks, such as not setting limits for myself because I’m capable of so much more. I also received incredible care and support from the faculty and staff, whose kindness and encouragement were instrumental in my achievements. I couldn’t have accomplished what I have without their unwavering support.” - Kaiyue "Carrie" Sun '19
