Proof of citizenship, permanent residency, or other documentation from INS proving that the student is in the United States for other than a temporary purpose.

Our goal is to leave a lasting impression on our students and instill in them the confidence needed to succeed not only in Pleasant Grove, but also wherever their endeavors take them.
