One of the phrases that you will hear around Ben Lippen is “Dream Big.”  We encourage all of our students to pursue big dreams and we equip them with the knowledge and skills to do so.  The Ben Lippen School International Student Program welcomes students from around the world to dream big with us and become a part of our Falcon family!

We provide a safe and secure campus—with 24/7 security officers patrolling our school, a challenging curriculum with dedicated faculty that will help you reach your academic goals, and a fun, diverse experience where you will have the opportunity to expand your horizons outside of the classroom as an athlete, artist, musician, robotics designer, actor, or any number of other options in our co-curricular and extra-curricular clubs and activities.

Whether you choose to live in one of our on-campus boarding houses or in a homestay with a local American family, you will have the opportunity to build lifelong friendships.  Our boarding houses are staffed by full-time houseparents who will become your “American mom and dad.”  The boarding houses also offer abundant social opportunities, structured daily schedules, and the convenience of living on campus in a beautiful environment around a small lake and a peaceful pine forest.  Our homestay program offers you the opportunity to live in an American home and experience life with an American family.  This cultural immersion program is often a great opportunity for extroverted students who do not need as much social time with classmates from their home countries and are eager to live in a 100% English-speaking environment.or any number of other options in our co-curricular and extra-curricular clubs and activities.

All of our international students are well-prepared academically for their next step—top American universities.  Our Ben Lippen School international graduates have enrolled at Dartmouth, Duke, UCLA, NYU, Georgetown, Michigan, USC, Purdue, and Georgia Tech to name a few.  Some of our graduates have also gone on to pursue their master’s or Ph.D. at Ivy League schools such as Harvard, Penn, and Columbia.  We really can help you achieve your dreams!

A safe place to live and study, a great academic program, and many opportunities to have fun outside of the classroom—this is what you will experience as a Falcon.
