Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy Academics
At the Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy we are as committed to providing excellent academics as we are to golf. Therefore, we are proud to offer our enrolling students 2 schooling options:
Montverde Academy
Montverde Academy features a gorgeous 125 acres campus in central Florida. Majestic oaks, the glimmer of sun light across bordering Lake Florence, and a well designed 28 million dollar facility in the Spanish style set the campus apart from any other. More than 90% of the faculty hold advanced degrees and possess a minimum of 10 years of teaching experience. Caring, nurturing and finely trained, the faculty are equipped to provide an unparalleled education. Montverde Academy has a fully networked campus via a fiber optic infrastructure and provides students with access to an advanced automated library, and various periodical databases for research and learning development. Through advanced technology, parents are also provided with 24 hour access from their home or office to a service that keeps them apprised of student academic progress.

Visa Requirements
All international students wishing to enroll in any of these 2 academic programs are required to obtain an F-1 Student Visa in order to be authorized to attend classes in the U.S.
The process for obtaining the visa is as follows:
1. The school that the student has chosen to attend will issue an I-20 form. This form will be sent to the student in order to be able to request the F-1 Student Visa in the appropriate U.S. Consulate or Embassy.
2. The student will need to contact the U.S. Consulate or U.S. Embassy operating in his/her country to set an appointment to apply for the student visa. He/She should ask what supporting documents are needed.
3. The student must pay the SEVIS I-901 fee; this can be done online at www.fmjfee.com and must be paid prior to the Consulate/Embassy appointment.
4. When the student travels to or from the United States he/she will be required to show his/her passport and I-20/F-1 visa. The student must keep both these documents with him/her at all times.
