Academics

 A Time to Excel 

 

At Balmoral Hall School we provide our senior students with a comprehensive program of studies that facilitates the achievement of individual potential and inspires a love of learning. We offer a varied curriculum that enhances and exceeds provincial requirements and prepares young women for successful post-secondary education and future careers.

Our academic requirements encourage each student to design a rigorous program compatible with her abilities, interests and goals. Qualified students may further enrich their programs with MYP in Grades 9 and 10 and the Advanced Placement courses in Grades 11 and 12 in a variety of subjects. Balmoral Hall School's challenging curriculum spans classical studies to twenty-first century technology.

Our comprehensive program includes traditional academic areas, athletics and arts education. Students have the opportunity to learn new languages, to express their ideas creatively through the visual and performing arts, and to develop a healthy lifestyle through our atheletic program. 


At the heart of Balmoral Hall School stands "The Schoolgirl" by internationally acclaimed sculptor Leo Mol . She carries the inscription "Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself" ~ John Dewey
