About the TOEFL IBT and Duolingo English Test:

1. TOEFL iBT Test

The TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet-Based Test) measures the ability of non-native English speakers to read, listen, speak, and write in English at an academic level. It is widely accepted by universities and institutions around the world as proof of English proficiency. Learn more on the official TOEFL website.

2. Duolingo Test 

The Duolingo English Test is an online English proficiency test that can be taken online, on-demand, in under an hour for only $70. The test is taken via a computer with a camera and includes a proficiency score, video interview, and writing sample which are shared with Orange Lutheran when you send your results. Certified results are available within 48 hours of the test session.

 Orange Lutheran High School International Housing Policy

Students enrolled in Orange Lutheran High School’s International Student Program reside either with approved homestay families or with their biological family members that permanently reside in the area. Homestay arrangements offer international students a unique opportunity to experience American culture firsthand while improving their English language skills in a welcoming, family oriented environment. Students become part of the daily rhythm of life with their host families sharing meals, joining in everyday activities, and participating in family and community events such as holiday celebrations, local outings, and summer gatherings. Many of our international students are placed with families who also have children attending Orange Lutheran.

While Orange Lutheran does not directly place students with host families, we work closely with established international student agencies that manage homestay placements. These agencies also support students through the admissions process, including assistance with documentation, visa acquisition, and other requirements. Please note that agency and homestay fees are separate from Orange Lutheran tuition. All accommodation arrangements made through hosting agencies are independent of Orange Lutheran High School, and it is the responsibility of the student’s family to manage and fulfill those agreements.  

Important Requirements:

• All F-1 international students are required to have both a local legal guardian and an approved host family for the duration of their time at Orange Lutheran.
• It is the responsibility of the student and their family to arrange housing prior to enrollment.
• Students that don't have a guardian prior to the start of school will not be permitted to begin class until one has been established.

If you are interested in becoming a host family, please complete the Host Family Interest Form, and we will connect you with one of our trusted agency partners. An agency representative will walk you through the application and approval process, outline host family responsibilities, and provide information regarding monthly compensation.

For additional questions, please contact James Crawford at james.crawford@lhsoc.org.
