You will need to take the TOEFL if your school's primary language of instruction is not English. Some colleges may accept different English tests, such as the Duolingo test or the IELTS. Hope this helps!

I am not sure about the exact answer to this but I know that there are several exceptions to the TOEFL such as getting a high enough SAT or ACT score or getting a 3 or above on an English AP exam. Hope this helps a bit!
