Students with green cards must live with at least one parent for the full duration of the academic year in order to attend La Jolla Country Day School. Students with green cards cannot reside with relatives or appointed guardians. They must reside with a parent. This will be confirmed and verified through a notarized memo of understanding and a home visit.
The only exception to this is an arranged homestay through our partner agency, IEM, for students applying to Grades 9–11. Students in this situation must work with IEM through all phases of the application process, fully enroll in the IEM program and agree to all IEM policies. We will not consider students applying to ECC–Grade 8 who are not living with at least one parent for the full duration of the academic year under any circumstances.
