Program and learning
What are the two high school enrollment pathways?
International Dual Diploma students remain at their current high school and pursue two diplomas. Full-Time Enrollment at SFI students choose SFI as their primary school and pursue their SFI diploma, without another school simultaneously. Eligible students may live in the U.S. or internationally.
Are College Guidance and Language School included?
No automatic inclusion is implied. College Guidance & Readiness and Language School are independent educational services, not diploma pathways. Confirm current availability, scope and fees with SFI.
What is a dual diploma?
It is a pathway in which you complete your home-country secondary education and additional American high school coursework. Both programs' graduation requirements must be met to earn both diplomas.
Do I need to relocate?
No. SFI coursework is fully online and asynchronous, so you can continue living in your home country and attending your current school.
Does asynchronous mean there are no deadlines?
No. You choose when to access lessons during the week, but you must follow each course's calendar, instructions, and assignment deadlines.
Admissions and documents
Do I need an account to apply?
No. The application is account-free. Password fields remain disabled, and no student or Moodle account is created when you submit an application.
Which documents does the application request?
The form requests personal documents such as a National Identification Document or passport and school documents such as transcripts or report cards. The application interface lists accepted formats and current upload limits.
How long does the program take?
Your timeline depends on your grade, previous coursework, academic evaluation, required subjects, and progress. SFI discusses your individual pathway after reviewing your records.
University and future access
Is university admission guaranteed?
No. Admission and scholarships are decided by each university. SFI's diploma and guidance do not guarantee admission, funding, a visa, or employment.
Can I sign in to the Student or Faculty Portal?
Not yet. Both pages remain available for future Moodle integration, but login is disabled and the website does not collect portal credentials. Enrolled students receive access only through a future approved activation process after admission.
Where can I ask about tuition?
Use the tuition inquiry option on the Tuition & Fees page or contact the school directly. No prices are published until the school supplies an approved tuition schedule.
