More Than Exceptional Training

"No student should have to compromise their education for their ballet training. We know that studying away from home can be a big step, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Everyone at Alberta Ballet School is working together to create a nurturing and welcoming environment where students can thrive, artistically and academically." -Ashley McNeil, Director, Alberta Ballet School
