Warmland Arts Academy
Warmland Arts Academy offers an inspiring, dance and performing arts-focused educational experience for students in Grades 4–12, blending high-quality academics with exceptional performing arts training in a nurturing, community-centered environment. Designed for today’s unique learners, our program provides an alternative to traditional, standardized education by offering interdisciplinary, passion-driven studies, structured and guided by a specialized, highly qualified in-house faculty.
Students enrolling at Warmland will register with a BC Ministry of Education-accredited Learning Community, ensuring they receive a well-rounded education that aligns with provincial learning expectations. Core subjects are explored through an arts-integrated approach, and students may elect unique courses such as “Anatomy of Dance” for science, “Dance History” in social studies, and “Lyrical Dance Studies” for poetry and language arts. Using a carefully curated selection of educational tools and resources, we create a rich and engaging academic experience.
Parents are an integral part of their child’s education at Warmland. As part of the liaison process, parents have the opportunity to stay actively engaged, receiving regular progress updates and participating in parent-teacher meetings. These connections help ensure each child’s individually crafted learning plan is well-supported, providing families with insight, guidance, and confidence in their child’s educational journey. Warmland takes care of all necessary reporting, making the process smooth and stress-free for families.

Grad Program (Grades 10–12)
Our Grad Program (Grades 10–12) follows a blended learning model, allowing students to immerse themselves in dance and performing arts while completing their academic studies through their school or learning provider of choice.
How It Works:
-
Students attend Warmland two full days per week, focusing on dance, performing arts, movement studies, and additional selected courses that support curricular learning.
-
These days cover a range of subjects through an arts-integrated approach, incorporating elements of social studies, science, English, and physical education into their training.
-
The remaining three days per week, students complete their academic coursework through their registered school or learning provider, earning credits toward graduation.
-
The Warmland studio and learning centre remain open five days per week, providing a welcoming space for independent studies, rehearsals, and creative exploration.
This model allows students to maintain academic progress while training at a high level, offering flexibility and support to balance both academic and artistic goals.
At Warmland, we emphasize community and collaboration, fostering an environment where students support one another, build confidence, and develop creativity. Our approach nurtures both artistic excellence and strong academic skills while fostering a deep sense of belonging.
