International Student Program
Grades 9-12
RCCA is a Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certified school for 9th -12th grade students.
SEVP certification allows institutions to issue Forms I-20, "Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status," to prospective international students after admitting them for a program of study. Prospective international students then use the Form I-20 to apply for a F-1 visa to enter the United States. The F-1 Visa (Academic Student) allows you to enter the United States as a full-time student.

Once RCCA receives the online application, application fee ($200), and all required documents, the school office will schedule an interview by Zoom with the School Administrator, Mrs. Jeni Chase.
After administrator approval and acceptance into the academy, RCCA will require a non-refundable $200 I-20 processing fee/deposit (within 5 days). Once RCCA receives the non-refundable $200, an I-20 Form (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student) will be issued to the student by our academy.
