Credit Transfers

Qualifying courses presented on transcripts will be accepted for credit transfer.

The number and types of transferable course credits, as well as English and Math proficiency (determined by entrance testing), will decide the final grade level and class placement of the student at admission.

Host Families

Lynden Christian School is a family oriented school, and each student is required to live with a family. International students who are not living with their families are placed with Christian host families who are screened and approved by the school. Students and host families are matched as closely as possible in interest, temperaments, and specific requests. After the placement, the International Student Coordinator meets regularly with students and hosts to ensure the best possible experience for both. Students are encouraged to participate in as many family activities as possible.

As we are a Christian school, our students, their families, and host families must acknowledge and be willing to work within the school's Statement of Faith. Students are expected to attend church with their host family. Please see the "Expectations for Host Families" page in the Application Forms.
