Online Application

The SPI online application is for parents and students who are ready to enroll in a program. We encourage parents and students to complete the application together. A $1,000 deposit is required to apply and counts toward the final program price (you may pay with e-check, VISA, MC, or Discover.) If you apply after the application deadline, full payment will be required at time of enrollment and a $200 late fee will apply. All notifications, invoices, and pre-departure information will be sent via email. Please be sure that you provide accurate email addresses. We look forward to your participation!
