OUR MISSION
Since its founding, the National Theatre School of Canada has been committed to providing exceptional training in the performing arts, covering disciplines such as acting, creation and production, scenography, playwriting, directing, and artistic residencies.

A School of ART
An institution that is both pedagogical and artistic, drawing on professional practices in order to offer the best possible training.
A School That NEVER STOPS GROWING
The various programs are rooted in the School’s tradition, yet constantly evolving, integrating a wide diversity of contemporary and classical approaches.
