Visa Support for International Families

We understand that the visa process can feel increasingly difficult and stressful during this time of uncertainty in the United States. First and foremost, please know your student’s spot is saved at North Broward Prep. There is no need to worry about that as you move through your visa appointments and interviews.

The visa process takes time, and that’s okay. We encourage families to keep the Office of Admissions updated as they progress.

When it comes to tuition and fees, here is an important excerpt from our contract (Section E):

"The School agrees that if the student’s F-1 visa is denied, the deposit will be refunded, provided documentation is received."

We have seen students initially denied get approved on a second attempt. Every case is different and outcomes vary depending on the country, but please do not lose hope.

We are here to support you every step of the way. Please let the Office of Admissions know if you have any questions.

Boarding Admissions Manager
Siena Del Mastro

I am originally from South Florida. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Multimedia Studies with a concentration in Film, Video, and New Media, a master’s degree in Higher Education Leadership, and am currently pursuing my doctoral degree in Higher Education Leadership at Florida Atlantic University.

 

For over five years, I have worked in college and university admissions as an Admissions Counselor at the FAU Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College in Jupiter, Florida and as an Assistant Director of Transfer Admissions, managing admissions for FAU’s Broward Campuses. During my tenure at FAU, I also served as an Adjunct Professor in the Leadership Minor, participated as a Student Conduct Board Member, and had the honor of working with North Broward Prep when helping to enroll interested students to FAU.

 

I come from a private K-12 background, as my family has owned and operated private K-12 sports academies and boarding schools for 20+ years. For academic and sports clinics, our family has traveled to countries like China and Jamaica. Traveling is a passion of mine – I have traveled to 28 countries, 26 U.S. states, and 2 U.S. territories. I hope to travel to all seven continents one day!

 

I am thrilled to be joining this group of hardworking, creative, and dedicated individuals at North Broward Prep.

Geena Capitini
I’m originally from Long Island, New York, but I was raised here in South Florida. My career has been rooted in education, athletics, and admissions. As a former collegiate softball player at both Bethune-Cookman University and Lynn University, where I graduated in 2016, I learned the value of teamwork and leadership. I later earned my master's in business administration from Keiser University while beginning my career as a collegiate softball coach, which deepened my passion for mentorship and personal growth. Eventually guiding me toward a career in college and high school admissions.
After transitioning into admissions, I returned to Keiser University as a Senior Admissions Counselor. There, I developed and implemented innovative recruitment projects to drive enrollment growth and collaborated with campus departments to enhance student success. I also served as an adjunct professor, further solidifying my dedication to helping students thrive.
I’m thrilled to join the admissions team at North Broward Prep and look forward to contributing to the continued growth and success of the school.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Do I need a computer during school or in the residence hall?
    Yes, as a technology school, North Broward Prep requires all students to have a laptop.
  • What happens to boarding students during the various breaks?
    During Thanksgiving and Spring Break, students have the option to go on a school-organized trip or make other independent travel arrangements (permissions required). These school trips are included in the extra boarding fees and offer a chance to see more of the US. 

    During the winter and summer breaks, our school completely closes down, so students must vacate the residence hall and make other arrangements during these breaks.
  • Am I allowed to “check out” of the dorms on the weekend?
    Yes, as long as students request the appropriate permissions through our REACH Portal, and they’re in good academic and disciplinary standing, we encourage students to spend time off campus with friends. Students also have the option to sign up for our local van trips and activities hosted by the Residential Team in International Village.
  • Who will help students with college applications, SAT/TOEFL testing, and other such activities?
    Working closely with our College Advising Office, Dorm Parents, and the Residential Life Administration Team, we ensure that boarding students do not miss any opportunities. There are often special presentations and meetings designed for boarding students to address their unique concerns. Furthermore, we help coordinate transportation service and registration for any major test needed by a boarding student.
  • Do I need to visit North Broward Prep to apply?
    No, the requirements for application are located on our Admissions page — students may use Microsoft Teams or other teleconferencing tools to speak virtually with an admissions officer, as needed, to complete the application process.
