Hope Ranch Approved For Accepting
Nonimmigrant Students

Hope Ranch/Star Meadows Academy has recently been approved to accept students from Canada and other countries. The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) has approved the Hope Ranch petition for certification and enrollment in SEVIS. SEVIS is the core technology of the Department of Homeland Security used to maintain information on international nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors to the United States.

Hope Ranch is located on 360 acres very close to the Canadian border in northeastern Montana. Just 30 miles from Glacier National Park, we receive many Canadian visitors to our area.

Our I-17 petition approval makes our program easily accessible for Canadian families in western Canada. We are only 112 miles from Lethbridge, 357 miles from Edmonton, and 405 miles from Vancouver.

Canadian families looking for a best-practice therapeutic boarding school program for struggling girls ages 12-18 can contact our Admissions Director, Jim Carpenter by e-mail at jimc@hoperanchmt.org

At Hope Ranch we seek to create an environment that is welcoming of students from other cultures. We recently enrolled a student from the Ukraine. We encourage Educational Consultants, Counselors, Pastors, and families from other countries to contact our Development Office for more information.
