INTERNATIONAL STUDENT CENTER
Overton is home to students who come to us from all over the world. The International Student Center was developed to meet the needs of the diverse population that makes us many Bobcats, but one Overton!
The International Student Center allows students and families who are new to our country, or those who have limited English proficiency, access to courses and programs that allow them to focus on their educational and social-emotional success.
Students are welcomed by our Youth Development Specialists, EL Counselor, Student Ambassadors, and EL Assistant Principal. This team provides an onboarding process that includes an overview of school expectations, a tour of the school by a language-like peer, a transcript analysis, and Academy selection. Additionally, a standard assessment screener is used to immediately identify the students' needs.
