International Students at Catalyst

Catalyst was blessed with a young woman named Susan who enrolled at Catalyst High School in August 2008. Susan was considered one of the Lost Girls of the Sudan who had been adopted by a community in Boulder. Challenged by a serious injury at her home that kept her out of school for a time, Susan found the resiliency to return to school as soon as she was able. She graduated from Catalyst in the spring of 2010 and eventually became an American citizen. From the wonderfully enriching experience of having Susan in our school community, the idea evolved that our school would benefit by the on-going inclusion of international students as members of our community.

 

More Students are Studying in the States

In November 2012, the Institute of International Education reported that more than 760,000 international students studied in the United States during the 2011-2012 academic year – a six percent increase from the previous year. The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) is dedicated to maintaining open communication with international students in an effort to provide the necessary support needed while studying in the United States.  Learn More:  https://www.facebook.com/StudyintheStates propecia equivalent discount propecia
