Out of town student seeking a host famly

Dear SOBT Families,

We are searching for a family to host a female student from out of town for the 2015/16 Annual Session.  The student is 16 years old (turning 17 this fall), bright, mature and very dedicated.  She will be in Level 6 at SOBT and will be doing her academic studies online.  Please contact us at the school if you would be interested in hosting this student; we’ll be happy to answer any questions and put you in touch with the student’s family.  

Thank you,
SOBT Administration  

Important Information: New Level 3 Female Students

For female students new to Level 3, please wait to purchase pointe shoes until your teacher has had the opportunity to provide instructions during the first week of classes.

If you have already purchased pointe shoes please do not sew, glue, or wear them. This will likely void the store's exchange/return policy.
