INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS 46 student-athletes from 16 different countries International students attending boarding school at IJGA will be issued an I-20 through Heritage Academy or Hilton Head Preparatory once the deposit and tuition are paid. The Heritage English Language Academy provides English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction to non-native speakers in grades 7-12 and through a specialized program for high school graduates. The goal of the Academy is to advance all ESL students to a level of academic and language proficiency so that they can function independently in the mainstream college preparatory classroom setting, or for Post-Graduate students to enter a college curriculum. A South Carolina standards-based curriculum is taught in English. International Post-Graduate students usually attend IJGA on a tourist visa that is obtained through your country’s embassy. International Post-Graduate students who are issued an I-20 must be registered full-time with the University of South Carolina Beaufort. AD M I SSI O NS GUI D E 2019 47
