HCA welcomes the opportunity to educate international students from multiple countries. Our convenient proximity to the Atlanta airport, quality instruction by caring teachers, and unique family environment are just a few of the many factors that make HCA International an attractive option for those who meet the application and academic standards for admission. Host families are committed to the care and protection of each of our international students.

Our program focuses primarily on grades 8-12 and is fully authorized to issue I-20 forms to eligible students. HCA is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and AdvancED. Harvester graduates have been accepted at dozens of major universities and colleges throughout the United States. In 2019, HCA entered into a unique partnership with International University Alliance (IUA) to support our international graduates with college application and matriculation. The IUA Shorelight portal provides a seamless process to help international students confidently transition to post-secondary institutions.
