International Student Program

Our International students are valued members in our Morris Catholic family, and have the opportunity

to immerse themselves in American culture at one of the premiere Catholic high schools

in the state of New Jersey. Students are challenged academically in order to prepare

for acceptances into elite colleges and universities. 

 PROGRAM INFORMATION

The ESL Program at Morris Catholic bridges the English and World Languages Departments. Students who are non-English or limited-English speakers are provided with a transitional language program. On average, students spend two to three years in the ESL program, progressing through beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. The ESL program has courses in English language development and academic preparation as well as courses in the mainstream, which have been modified to meet the needs of the ESL students.

Students who will be successful in our ESL Program are identified through the admissions process. Morris Catholic will assist international students in the student visa application process. Prospective ESL students wishing to enroll at MCHS are required to take an assessment test that centers on reading, writing, and speaking. A student’s previous school system, his/her past school records, and teachers’ comments, if available, will also be part of the criteria for admissions. There is an additional annual fee for ESL students.
