Admissions – Nonimmigrant Visa

The Milpitas Christian School (MCS) philosophy and practice is to develop English proficiency through immersion. Milpitas Christian School does not provide an English as a Second Language (ESL) program. In order to maintain the highest quality of academic, social and spiritual education for all Milpitas Christian School students, international students must speak, read, and write English well enough to handle their educational course work without special assistance.
