Safe Environment

As Christian adults, we have a moral and legal responsibility and are entrusted by God with the spiritual, emotional and physical well-being of children as they participate in activities within or sponsored by a Catholic school in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. It is our responsibility and commitment to provide an environment that is safe and nurturing. Every pre-school, elementary, middle and high school employee – along with all volunteers – must take part in the Archdiocese’s Safe Environment Program that implements training, screening, background checks and other procedures that are designed to safeguard children.

International Students - I-20 Program

Thank you for your interest in schools of The Archdiocese of San Francisco. If you wish to enroll a student from outside the United States in one of our schools, please click here for a complete listing of schools, as well as specific directory information. In order for a student to “Study in the States,” the student must first be accepted to a school and then complete an application for an I-20 (the document necessary to obtain an F-1 student visa).

The I-20 document, when presented with an F1-type visa, will allow an international student to enter the U.S. and travel outside the U.S. while they are enrolled full-time in an academic program in a SEVIS –approved school.

To learn more about the requirements necessary to apply for an I-20, please download a current application here. In addition, you can visit the “Study in the States" website.
