Start with your campus
Miami-Dade and Orange County are districts with multiple schools. Compare a particular campus and course plan, rather than assuming every school has the same programs.

Make room for your interests
The Miami-Dade program flyer describes AP, IB, STEM and arts across district schools. Ask which classes and activities you can actually join for your term.
Plan the everyday details
Confirm the host-family location, meals, transport and support. A Florida school listing does not promise beachside housing, sightseeing or a particular commute.

Can international students attend high school in Florida?
There are F-1 public and private school pathways to explore. Admission depends on the school, grade, academic record, English requirements and available places. Confirm your specific school, program year, housing and full written quote with an advisor.
Is public high school free for an F-1 student?
No. F-1 public high school students must pay the full unsubsidized cost of education. F-1 public high school attendance is limited to 12 months total, including time at other public high schools. Private school rules differ. U.S. authorities decide visa issuance.
Can I choose any campus or course in a district?
A district listing is a starting point. Your particular campus, course prerequisites, available places, activities and student eligibility need confirmation. A district-wide AP or IB offering is not a guarantee of access at every school.
Can I graduate during one year abroad?
A diploma is not automatic. The school must review your transcripts, remaining credits, residency and course requirements, and approve a graduation plan in writing before you rely on it.
What should we confirm about housing and the price?
Review the academic year and term, admission and housing availability, meals, transport, supervision, school breaks, insurance, additional school fees and cancellation terms. Boarding is school- and program-specific. A published program price is not a confirmed place or an all-inclusive travel budget.
School highlights use school information and the 2027–28 program materials. Admission, current availability and the full written quote need confirmation. Photographs show the named school or location; pictured people are not represented as Arrivo clients.
