Admissions Process: International Students

1. Visit Us (optional)

The best way to know whether you and Maharishi School are a great fit is to visit. You’ll want to meet our teachers, our administrators, spend time in the classrooms, and meet your peers.

Visits to the Maharishi Middle School are arranged by appointment.  We request a two-week notice of all visits.  Open Houses are also scheduled several times each year.

International students may visit for up to 1 week. After a student visits and is accepted, Upper School students must defer enrollment until the start of the following semester.

To plan a visit, contact admissions@maharishischool.org or call (641) 472-9400 ext.5076.

2. Apply Online

There is a $25 application fee and you will need to provide an official school transcript from your most recent school. As you navigate the application requirements, remember that the Maharishi Admissions team is here to be your partner every step of the way. Access our online application.

The following documents will be needed to complete the application:

  • Official School transcript from the most recent school
  • SSAT (preferred), SLEP and/or TOEFL test scores.

3. Interview

Interviews are a required part of the application process. This can be an in-person or a Skype interview. After receipt of a completed application, a Maharishi School Admissions officer will contact you to schedule a student interview after the transcripts are received and application including the student essay is completed.

4.  Receive Letter of Acceptance from the Director of Admissions.

Say “Yes”. After you have been accepted and have made your decision to enroll, sign the enrollment contract and send in the required deposit within 3 weeks.
