The application form must be filled out by a parent or legal guardian, if the student is under 19, or by the student if he/she is 19 or over.

Columbia Academy will issue a receipt for the tuition fee, which an International Student can use to apply for a student visa.
When the student arrives at Columbia Academy, he/she will write the English Placement Exam. The student will make course selections based on both the exam’s results and his/her previous academic standing.
