A global society is the world we live in.

Welcome to Rancho Christian School’s International program. We are located in Temecula, California, which is known for its safe communities, natural beauty, and championship golf courses, nestled in 3,000 acres of picturesque wine country.

We invite students from all over the world to be a part of our community. We believe bringing together students from around the globe adds to the enrichment of cultural values and beliefs to our student body.

Our Rancho Christian family has embraced students from all corners of the world. Enrollments in recent years have included students from Australia, Austria, Brazil, China, Cambodia, Canada, Georgia, Ghana, Japan, Romania, South Korea, South Sudan, Spain, Thailand, and Vietnam. Our International Program provides a strong college preparatory curriculum in a Christ-centered environment that helps prepare our students for the rigors of college and the challenges of life.
Rancho Christian’s International program is designed for students in grades 5 through 12 to be able to participate in an English-speaking, Christian school environment. All international students are enrolled in classes alongside all other students to encourage full immersion into an American school experience. To be successful in our curriculum, all international students are expected to be proficient in English verbal, reading, and writing. Students are accepted on a rolling admissions basis.
We issue a limited number of I-20’s each school year, so space for each grade is subject to availability.

We understand that choosing a school abroad is a significant decision, and we are here to support you every step of the way, from the admissions process to helping your student thrive academically and socially while away from home. Our international program is designed to provide a smooth transition and a rich cultural exchange, where students not only achieve academic success but also build lifelong friendships and leadership skills.

We invite you to explore all that Rancho Christian has to offer and encourage you to reach out with any questions. We look forward to walking alongside you on this exciting journey.”

-Ms. Xin Bai, Director of International Admissions.

“Rancho Christian School is committed to providing our students with a top-quality education while helping them develop essential life skills to be both university-ready and life-ready. We look forward to helping you explore new interests, build lasting friendships, and prepare for a successful future.

Studying abroad offers a unique and rewarding opportunity for both learning and personal growth. You will be challenged academically to prepare you for the demands of university-level coursework. Along the way, you can pursue your athletic talents through various school sports, chase your passions in performing and visual arts, develop your leadership abilities through student council and ambassador programs, and explore your interests in business, science, and technology through our academic pathways.

We understand that being away from home, friends, and familiar surroundings can be overwhelming. That's why we are committed to providing a well-rounded education within a supportive and inclusive community that promotes both academic excellence and personal growth. Our dedicated team is here to guide and support you throughout your journey, ensuring that your experience with us is not only academically enriching but also personally transformative.”

-Mr. Hank Pham, International Program Director.

“It is an honor to be a part of the Soaring Scholars International Tutoring Program. Being able to work with brilliant young men and women from around the globe as they navigate their scholastic journey is a blessing. Although our goal is to help them instill habits for success in the classroom and beyond, I find that I learn from them as well, which is very exciting and humbling. Sitting side-by-side with students of various nationalities and backgrounds while writing essays, discussing literature, preparing for university, and more is quite fulfilling, and my favorite part is when the spark ignites in their eyes once they have achieved successes both great and small. It is our goal to be the "wingman" that helps them weather the various storms that they may face while living apart from their homelands. We strive to be more than their advisors and tutors; instead, we want to build relationships with our international students that are based on more than "school work." We love that our students become our "buddies," and we, in turn, become a part of their family. We love our international students, and their success is our success.”

-Mr. John Barger, Soaring Scholars Tutoring Director.
