1 Professional Ballet Program Entry Procedures The School offers three full-time programs: the Professional Ballet/Academic Program, for students entering academic grades 6 through 12; the Post-Secondary Program, for pre-professional students who have completed high school; and the Teacher Training Program, for educating dance teachers at the post-secondary level. Admission to the School s full time program is by audition. DVD auditions can be arranged for students living abroad, or for those unable to attend any of the scheduled auditions, by following the instructions starting on page 3 of this document and submitting the $50 (Canadian) audition fee (payment to be made by money order or credit card only). Applicants from outside Canada will avoid customs charges and delays by making the following declaration on the envelope: Personal Audition DVD No Commercial Value Please address your application package to The Registrar, 400 Jarvis Street, Toronto, ON, M4Y 2G6 (Do not mention The National Ballet School in the address) Applications must be returned by March 31 to be considered for the next school year. Applicants will be notified by , as to whether or not they have been selected to attend Summer School. Summer School is specifically for students who are hoping to be selected for the full-time programs. At the end of Summer School, selected students will be invited to join the full-time Professional Ballet Program. Students entering grade 5 who thrive at Summer School will be encouraged to audition again the following year. This initial Summer School experience will enable them to settle, comfortably and confidently, into the two stage audition process the following year. Dancers are also selected for the Post-Secondary Program at this time. Students selected from the audition class for the Teacher Training Program will attend a further four-day assessment at NBS in May rather than the July Summer School. Classes begin in September for those accepted into the full-time program and continue to June, with breaks in October, December, and April. Accommodation is available at the School for Professional Ballet/Academic Program students. Post-Secondary and Teacher Training students are responsible for their own accommodations. Financial assistance, based on family means, is available to Canadian and Permanent Residence students in the full-time Professional Ballet/Academic Program. Limited assistance may also be extended to non-canadian students. Application forms are available at the time of acceptance into any full-time program. Should you wish to audition in person for Summer School, please register online at Payment for DVD auditions is by money order or credit card only. Please complete the authorization form on page 2 of this document. Should you have any further questions, please contact the Registrar at A toll-free line is available for callers within Canada
