The Academy at Ocean Reef

International students are welcome at The Academy at Ocean Reef.

​

SEVIS is the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System – this is the system that we use to enter international students information into their database.  SEVP is the Student Exchange Visitor Program – parents and students (upper division) would refer this by name. Please visit the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement website for more information.

​

Even if a family/student has been properly issued Forms I-20, visa, etc., entrance to the US is at the discretion of CBP at the port of entry. A Business (B-1) and Tourist Visa (B-2)  is not acceptable for educational purposes.  Paperwork can only be for grades K-8th.  Families must also fill out a SEVIS I-901 ($200.00). The I-20 Form information must be an exact match to the Passport information.

In order for the process to begin – We require documents such as copies of passports for each individual, and parents must provide must a bank statement (signed/notarized by a bank official).  Parents must also show proof of US residency (or rather where will they reside while in the US).
