International Students

Matlock is an approved SEVIS Private High School in West Palm Beach, Florida. SEVIS was established as part of ICE's (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) objective to restore integrity to the immigration system. By more effectively managing status information on international students and exchange visitors in the United States, SEVIS plays a key role in ICE’s homeland security mission while ensuring that all eligible international students and exchange visitors can experience the benefits of America’s exceptional schools, educational programs, and cultural opportunities.

Matlock Preparatory Academy is licensed by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program to issue I-20 Forms which allow International Students the ability to obtain a Student Visa.  This Student Visa will allow a student the ability to attend High School at Matlock Academy.  Matlock Preparatory Academy has gone through a two year process with the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System in order to position itself for this opportunity.

SEVIS collects, maintains, and provides the Student Visa information so that only foreign students or exchange visitors gain entry to the United States.
