At The White Mountain School, all students know each other and learn from one another. Our close-knit community is a tremendous advantage for international students because they regularly work with domestic and other international students from varied cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Together, students learn, play, and volunteer in all settings: dorms, athletics and co-curriculars, Field Courses, and in all non-ESL (English as a Second Language) classes.
The personal, caring, and committed relationships that faculty have with students makes White Mountain unique. We are intentionally small, allowing us to maximize this level of care and connection. Our international student coordinator helps faculty, staff, and students understand how to meet our international student population’s needs.
“My most valuable takeaway from being an international student at White Mountain was that the School taught me the real meaning of serving your community. I developed lifelong friendships and fundamental life values—the ultimate goals of the School. As an international student, White Mountain helped me understand the real meaning of diversity, and as a student, the School prepared me well for academic studies in college. Without White Mountain, I would not have gone this far.”
