The first international students were German immigrants. As time passed, students from other nations continued to arrive at St. Bernard to benefit from the school’s high standards of education and Christian culture.
Embracing Global Perspectives: The Essential Role of International Students
The international tradition remains strong at St. Bernard Prep. Our multinational student body makes clear that we are a part of a larger world, rich with various cultures. In many ways, our international students make quite an impact in a small school, creating something of a United Nations in North Alabama!
SBP not only enjoys the presence of international students today, but considers them an essential part of school life.
Over the years, students have come to St. Bernard from...
Austria | Brazil | China | Colombia | Ethiopia | Finland | Ivory Coast | Japan | Korea | Liberia | Mexico | The Philippines | Rwanda | Spain | Sweden | Taiwan | Thailand
Lifelong Connections
International students have the opportunity for an excellent education and mastery of the English language as they integrate within the student body. Many of our international students are invited into the homes of local students and their families during school holidays. These close ties become friendships sustained for life.
A Global Boarding Community
