Small, supportive classes and individualized teaching (ratio of 6:1), contribute to the successes our students enjoy at Southwestern. Safe, attractive campuses in Southern California and Northern Arizona allow students to experience either suburban or rural settings while completing college-prep program. Academic offerings and teching methodologies vary by campus location as displayed on our website. Our student body consists of 50% international students. Three levels of ESL are offered at both campus locations. International students are strongly encouraged to attend summer school to develop English skills then continue into the regular school year beginning mid-September.

To apply, review and complete the Southwestern application. You can either apply online by clicking one of the links below, or you can download an application to print out, complete, and mail to us.

We also require:

• $100 Application fee
• Three letters of recommendation from
  current teachers or school officials
• Transcripts of a student’s school records for
  the past three years
• Health report and updated
  immunization records
• A personal interview is not required,
  but is encouraged. (Students are welcome
  to spend a day visiting our classes, and
  spend the night in the dorms.)

On acceptance, the application contract reserves space in the school. Applicants for the fall are normally selected the prior spring as space is sharply limited, particularly for day students.

International Student Visa:
The I-20 application form for a student visa to enter the United States is sent by Southwestern when a student is accepted and has paid tuition.
