A foreign country can be both exciting and worrisome for international students. This is why the Victoria Ballet provides constant support and attends to the every need of their students. A school representative with a school bus will meet the international students at the Toronto Airport, and bring him or her to the designated residential place (host family). The student will be transported to and from the school, provided with meals and all the necessities.

The academic program of the school complies with the curriculum of the Ontario Ministry of Education but provides a much more enhanced program than is mandated by said ministry. Daily professional ballet training, art, music and extracurricular activities are added to the curriculum as well. A special tourism program on weekends is organized for foreign students.
