Each year, Hebron coordinates an orientation program designed for new incoming international students to meet other new international students and become familiar with Hebron’s campus, community and culture before the other students arrive.

New international student orientation is required for all new international students, and is open to other new students who identify as being an international student, such as students with U.S. citizenship who live outside the United States, students with dual citizenship and students who have a green card or who are permanent U.S. residents.

Faculty and staff serve as advisors for international students in the Hebron community and work to promote understanding and appreciation of foreign cultures and languages. We organize homestays with local families when students are unable to travel home during school breaks, providing an opportunity for international students to connect with Hebron community families and to experience American cultures and holidays.

As part of extracurricular activities, clubs and on campus events, students share customs, traditions and cultural differences in ways that support learning, peer connections and friendships and provide new perspectives for both international and domestic students alike.

In addition, Hebron Academy invites speakers to talk about current events, global issues, conflict resolution, and health and well-being for students living in a diverse community. 

Highlight events include the international festival of food, film and celebratory traditions coordinated by students for the full campus community. 

Hebron Academy has long supported an egalitarian school community. In 2018, to further support our initiatives around global awareness and learning, Hebron became a Round Square school. Round Square schools (over 200) are centered around six principles - the IDEALS - which mesh seamlessly with Hebron’s academic principles and our commitment to global awareness and service learning. As an international community with an emphasis on critical thinking and communication, Hebron sees valuable opportunities for exchange, new relationships and open dialogue around global issues. Learn More about ROUNDSQUARE
