To Apply for the Professional Division

Participation in the Summer Course is required to be considered for admission into the PD program. Admission to the PD program is by invitation only, and students are notified of acceptance to the program before the end of Summer Course.

Summer Course students in Levels VII and VIII receive application materials for the PD program prior to Summer Course. Students interested in applying for the program must submit the necessary paperwork by July 1, to allow sufficient time for faculty and staff to identify and review the applicants during Summer Course. The application requires information from the prospective student, his/her parents, a recommendation from the student’s current ballet instructor, and financial assistance paperwork (if financial aid is necessary). Prospective students and their parents must consider living arrangements (PNB does not offer year-round housing) as well as academics. PD program candidates who have not completed high school must have a plan to continue academic studies while attending PNB School. Students are notified verbally of their acceptance to the PD program before the end of Summer Course, followed by written confirmation before the new school year begins in September.
