International Program

Your success is our goal

The West Catholic High School International Program is designed to prepare students for attending universities in the United States. Our students who successfully complete all courses required earn their high school diploma and are assisted in the college application and admittance process. Continuous academic support and individualized programs are tailored to meet the needs of each student. 

Recent West Catholic international student graduates have attended the following universities: 

• Michigan State University* 
• New York University
• University of Connecticut
• University of Michigan* 
• University of Washington

*Attending high school for 3 years in the state of Michigan is a pathway to in-state tuition costs at these universities as well as others
