Shadow a Current Student and Learn Firsthand What OSSM is Like
Sophomore students are encouraged to "shadow" an OSSM student prior to making application. Prospective students will spend one entire school day from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in class at the school. In addition to attending class, students will eat lunch with their student shadow and tour the dormitory. When inquiring about shadowing, please have two specific dates in mind to expedite the process.
To schedule a shadow, send an email to the Admissions office at admissions@ossm.edu. or call 405.521.6436. Shadows can be arranged with a few days notice and are scheduled September through March 15.
