The National Ballet School was founded in 1959 by Celia Franca, artistic director of the National Ballet of Canada, with Betty Oliphant as its founding principal. The National Ballet School is an independent residential and day school for students from grades 6 through 12 offering an integrated program of academic studies and dance instruction for about 150 full-time students. The curriculum is carefully designed to provide a balanced education for those contemplating a professional dance career while also providing an enriched experience for those who may decide to pursue other careers. In addition to its regular program, NBS offers a special intensive ballet program beyond grade 12, a summer school that also functions as an extended audition, and an acclaimed teacher-training program. In 1961, the school received its own charter as an independent institution.
