"Once I became part of Doane, I became part of a new family. A family that would, later on, have a huge impact on my life. During my years at Doane, I have formed close relationships with my teachers. They have helped me to succeed both academically and in life. Doane teachers are the type of teachers that would come to school early in the morning and stay after school to help you to learn. They would also chat with you during lunch to see how you are doing like your good old ...friends. They are the sun in the morning and the big dipper at night. They will always be there to assist you to walk the right path. Besides inspiring teachers, I was able to find encouraging friends at Doane and form lifelong friendships with them. Doane Academy is a school that would offer you a great education and a family that would push you to thrive."

All international applicants must apply through a Council on Standards for International Education and Travel (CSIET) certified agency. Doane Academy has worked with the following agencies:

• Ivy International
• C&T Education Ltd.
• Edu-icare Inc.
• Princeton Educational Services
• TBI New Oasis

Since Doane Academy does not offer a residential program, these organizations also manage students’ homestay placement. Doane Academy cannot consider applications from students applying independently of a CSIET-certified agency.

The application consists of the following components: Parent questionnaire, student essays, teacher recommendations, transcripts, and the TOEFL or TOEFL Jr. (required for non-native English speakers).

Students must complete an interview and writing sample with a member of the admission team via Zoom. Students do not not need to prepare anything in advance for the interview and writing sample.

• Doane Academy does not offer an ESL program. Students must demonstrate advanced English language proficiency.

• Non-native English speakers must complete the TOEFL or TOEFL Jr. Though the school does not have a minimum score requirement, students who score a 70 or above on the TOEFL typically demonstrate the English proficiency needed to thrive at Doane Academy.
