THE PROCESS

Below you will find the international admissions process for international students at Knoxville Christian School. If you have any questions, please contact the International Program Director, Bud Ford at (865) 966-7060 or bford@kcsknights.org.

Admission decisions are based on the student’s academic record, application, and admissions evaluation at the school. All classes are taught in English and no special accommodations are made for international students except for one ESL class to support the students in writing and grammar. If the student needs extra help, she/he must take tutoring session at his/her own expense.
