ANNOUNCEMENTS
URGENT NEED FOR HOST FAMILY
The CFS high school has an urgent need for a family that will host a Korean student for the spring 2012 semester. He is a 15 year old junior. The students family will provide $250.00 per month for financial support for the host family. All education costs (tuition, registration, & books) will also be covered by the students family. Another benefit the host family might be interested in is the school’s recruitment incentive; a tuition credit of approximately $250.00 to be applied to the tuition of a child in the school, or to be enrolled in the school. If you might be interested in being a host family for this young man please call the school office (618-542-6800) for more information.

CFS APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
CFS has been approved by the Department of Homeland Security! The school is now an approved member of the Student Exchange and Visitors Program. We should be able to start processing I-20 application shortly after the first of March and hope to have several international student enrolled for the start of the fall 2011 semester. CFS is one of only a handful of schools in southern Illinois approved by DHS and may be unique in the region because of the ability to process I-20 forms for both elementary and secondary students. It is truly a blessing to have this opportunity to minister to students around the world.

Two New Academic Programs For High School Students Christian Fellowship School is pleased to announce the adoption of two new academic programs for high school students: a three-year graduation plan, and a reduced-tuition senior year plan. A student who is admitted to and completes the three-year graduation program will graduate and receive his or her diploma at the end of the junior year. Those enrolled in the reduced-tuition senior program will take classes at CFS and through an area community college or on-line university. This program requires freshman (ninth grade) admission and makes it possible for a student to earn a high school diploma and an associate’s degree at the same time. In order to be enrolled in either of these programs students must meet a set of requirements which incorporate the nationally recommended college preparatory core credits and Illinois School Code requirements. The school is able to offer these programs, in part, by virtue of the fact that it is the only state recognized pre-K through 12th grade non-public in the southern
