    译文:学校使用托福来考量申请者的英语水平,所以建议申请者参加TOEFL iBT的考试。学校自己有一套内部的学术测验来衡量学生的数学和阅读理解能力,通常在刚到学校还没开学的时候参加,通过这些测试来决定学生的课程设定。我们不要求SSAT考试成绩。
    最低托福要求为80分。学校有一个非常有挑战性的课程,该课程把重点放在培养还在的写作和演讲能力上。甚至在数学和科学课上,实践证明外国孩子们都在英语交际上表现的非常好。托福成绩80以上的孩子表现会更好一些。我们不提供ESL课程。
    目前学校一共有1名来自中国地交换学生。其他还有几名来自亚洲的学生,都在高中部就读。
    我们把国际生比例控制的比较低,从而国际交换项目的孩子可以充分感受当地文化,并用英语来交流。实际上现在的这名中国学生是从美国其他高中转校过来的,原因是这名学生发现原来学校过高的中国学生比例会让他们与其他学生隔离开来。有一些共同点是很棒的,但是她想更好的运用她的英语。
    学校的外国交换项目非常成功,我们也和之前交换的孩子们积极保持着联系。外国交换生活跃在我们有组织的课堂上,从老师和管理者那里受益良多。
    原文:For determining English proficiency, we rely on TOEFL scores. TOEFL iBT gives us the most accurate representation of English usage skills so we recommend applicants take that test. We have an internal academic assessment for math and reading comprehension that the applicant takes for class placement and usually occurs upon their arrival to the States prior to the start of school. We don't require the SSAT test.

    The minimum score for the TOEFL iBT is 80. Rockbridge Academy has a challenging honors curriculum with an emphasis on writing and speaking assignments even in math and science classes so it is imperative that international applicants have strong English skills. Students that score higher than 80 will typically do better in the classroom. We do not offer ESL courses.

    Currently, we have one Chinese exchange student. We have a couple of students from other Asian countries attending Rockbridge as well; all of which are in the high school.

    We purposely keep the percentage of international students low so that foreign exchange students fully immerse themselves into the local culture and use their English with our Rockbridge students. Actually one Chinese student transferred to Rockbridge from another U.S. high school because she found the large group of Chinese students would isolate themselves from the rest of the school. It was nice for her to have some familiarity, but she wanted to use her English more.

    We have had great success with our foreign exchange program, and we continue to stay in touch with our former exchange students. Our foreign exchange students thrive in our structure classrooms and benefit from the attention they receive from administrators and teachers.

    k-12的基督教学校,总共350人,10-12年级80人左右,算是比较小的学校,大学录取的情况不是最牛的大学但是也还可以。
