SBA WELCOMES PROSPECTIVE FAMILIES
  
On Saturday, March 3, Saint Basil Academy hosted the Seventh Grade Practice Test and 6th & 7th Grade Parent Meet and Greet.  While students were testing, prospective parents met with faculty, engaged in presentations about the school, and toured classrooms with our teachers and students.  It was a great day for the SBA community.  We really enjoyed meeting future families and discussing all the unique qualities of their daughters.

PI DAY
