The Donoho School welcomes international student inquiries from all over the world and is recognized by the Student Exchange and Visitor Program (SEVP) as a SEVIS approved school.  We have the authorization to issue the I-20 forms to our international students so that they may obtain an F-1 student visa.

Kindergarten and senior students celebrated their final get-together at the annual breakfast hosted by the senior parents. They enjoyed a tasty meal, sang songs, and watched a video highlighting each senior’s school career. Each kindergartner presented his or her senior with the book, Oh, the Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss. It was a special time for all!
