Grandview Preparatory School is a PK – 12th grade day school with a diverse student body and a curriculum with a global vision. Grandview encourages international students interested in studying for a year or longer to apply for admission. Unlike a boarding school, our international program is unique. Our students live with Grandview families in a “home stay” environment. The students are cared for by host families instead of dorm parents.

Our international students live in recently built school owned town homes located in Boca Raton one block from the Grandview campus. The enclave has state of the art facilities including a clubhouse, fitness center, and swimming pool. The location is ideal. The town homes are one mile from the beach and close to the Town Center Mall and downtown Boca Raton. The homes are within walking distance to the Florida Atlantic University campus and adjacent to Florida Atlantic University’s bike path.

The cost of the program is $31,855. This includes $14,870 base tuition, $1,985 in fees (books, student activities, cafeteria, and technology), and $15,000 in living expenses, (food, electricity, water, and cable television). Students are welcome to stay with their host families through Thanksgiving, winter vacation and spring break at no additional charge. For more information, please contact Joe Collins in the Admission Office at jcollins@grandviewprep.net or (561) 416-9737 Ext. 316.
