Roanoke Valley Christian Schools welcomes the addition of international students!  The international students who attend RVCS are in pursuit of an American college preparatory education with a Christian worldview.  At RVCS, these students are taught from a Christian worldview where students and teachers are able to openly speak about Jesus Christ and advance their knowledge of Scripture.  RVCS enjoys the privilege of hosting students from around the world – China, Germany, Mexico, South Korea, Russia, and other countries.  Acceptance of international students begins with an application. The initial registration fee for all international students is $250.  Receipt of the registration fee is necessary before enrollment in RVCS is offered.
