Koninklijke Ballet School Antwerpen is looking for a host family for a Japanese student

The Royal Ballet School Antwerp attracts young international talent and guides students who wish to develop their passion for dance at the highest level.

One of our students is a 12-year-old Japanese boy. During the week he stays in our boarding facilities, but for the weekends we are urgently looking for a host family that would be willing to welcome him into their home (with financial compensation).
This student is highly disciplined, polite, and well-mannered. He works very hard in his training and shows tremendous dedication, but for his well-being it is important that he can experience a warm, homely environment during the weekends. A place where he can feel at home, receive attention as a child, and become part of family life.

We hope to find a family who can support him in a positive way during this important chapter of his life. Ideally, this would be a Japanese family or a family with Japanese connections, so that he can also feel culturally at home. This would make his stay in Belgium even more enjoyable.

Would you be interested in taking on this special role as a host family?
