Admission to the Professional Choreographic Program (grades 5-12) requires the student to be at least 9 years old and to pass an audition in ballet. The professional education is thoroughly blended with the Academic education at the Middle School and High School level. The main task of the school is to provide the best academic education.  

Admission to the elementary academic program (grade 1) requires the student to be at least 5 years old. The elementary program is designed for children who have passed an audition in which they have shown promising results for admittance into the Professional Choreographic Program. Preparatory choreographic knowledge and understanding of ballet and related arts are taught in grades one through four. These grades are considered an ongoing audition process for the candidates.  

Admission to the Pre-school program (grades JK and SK) is open for all children who have no impairment preventing them from engaging in active physical exercise.
Successful students of the Academy will graduate from Grade 12 with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma and with an Artiste de Ballet Diploma. The courses meet all the requirements set out by the Ministry of Education of Ontario; however, they are enhanced according to the proven methods of the European academic systems.
