How to Apply to the
English Language Academy
- Request an application. You can download one or call (718) 335-6363 to request one.
- Complete application and return to Garden school with $40 application fee.
- Send the following to Garden School with the application:
- A translated record of the student’s school grades for the past two years.
- A copy of the student’s valid passport.
- Bank letter showing that the family has sufficient funds to support the living expenses of the student in the United States.
- Student’s home address and intended address in New York City.
- Name of student’s guardian in New York City.
The applicant can be admitted based on this information. If admitted, the family will be sent an enrollment agreement for the student.
Garden School will issue an I-20 for the student only if the signed enrollment agreement is returned and payment of tuition and fees for the first year at Garden School is paid in full in advance (bank transfer can be arranged).
In subsequent years at Garden, there is no additional tuition charge because the student will not be in the English Language Academy. Tuition will not need to be paid in advance and the family will be able to choose one of Garden School’s payment plans.
If, for some reason, a visa is denied by the American Consulate, Garden School will refund tuition and related fees but not the $1,000 nonrefundable deposit that is part of the enrollment agreement.
