F-1 Private Choice Program

AHLI’s F-1 Private Choice program has been assisting students in finding a quality school in a preferred location based on the student’s interests and the academic ability for more than 30 years. Students will be given a choice in their program location and offered multiple schools to choose from during their application process. Students will have a well-rounded high school experience, with the opportunity to participate in school sports and activities. Students can choose to study for a semester, academic year, or multiple years and, if enrolled for a year or more, can graduate from their school.
