High school in Massachusetts
Make Massachusetts part of your school story.
Picture your school day in a New England community. Start with Walpole, then compare public-school options in Milford, Hopkinton and Sheffield with private-school pathways around Boston and Lowell. Your actual school, housing and study plan matter more than the state name.
Start with the school day you want.
Build a realistic course plan
The Walpole program flyer lists AP, STEM, arts and language options. The school must confirm prerequisites, places and the classes available during your stay.
Plan life beyond lessons
Ask about your host-family location, transport, weather and school breaks. A school near Boston does not automatically mean city-center housing or included trips.

Can international students attend high school in Massachusetts?
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.
