PSB / Dunbarton High School Professional Program
PSB Dance Academy and Dunbarton High School formed a partnership in September 2010 to provide an opportunity for local students in Grades 9 through 12 to strike a balance between studying academic subjects and training for a career in dance.
Now students in Durham and the GTA are offered a balanced academic/dance training program, modeled from similar programs offered by the Quinte School of Ballet in Belleville, Ontario and the Alberta Ballet School. Students who are passionate about dance and dream of a professional dance career can attend Dunbarton High School during the day and take dance training in the afternoon and evening. This partnership enables dancers to pursue excellence in their dance training without sacrificing their academic goals, while living at home with their own families within their own community.
Entrance into this combined ballet and academic program is by audition only. The program is limited to 15 to 20 students and a strong ballet background is recommended.
Dunbarton High School is located at 655 Sheppard Avenue (Kingston Rd. at Whites Rd.) in Pickering.
