Located in the heart of Winnipeg, Balmoral Hall was founded in 1901 by a group of entrepreneurs to offer girls an education that pushed all limits and exceeded boundaries girls faced. An independent day and boarding school for girls aged 2 to Grade 12, BH welcomes students from around the world.
With over 100 years of boarding experience, BH girls are offered daily opportunities to explore and pursue their interests and academic pursuits while they make lifelong friendships. A dedicated team works closely with students to ensure their safety and encourage participation in boarding activities planned throughout the week and on weekends. Boarding students are housed on campus in a modern facility with private dorm rooms for 80 girls in a loft-like setting. The Head of School promises the custodianship of each international student.
Our acclaimed ESL program recorded an unprecedented success in 2018 with 56% of our grade 12 ESL students achieving level 7 or 8 on IELTS – ensuring direct entry to the university of their choice in North America and leading international universities.

Summary: The University Guidance program aims to connect high school learning with post-secondary education, then through to discovering future career goals. This program will help to provide a smoother transition between high school graduation and appropriate post-secondary programming, based on “best fit” decisions made by students who are confident and well informed. They will acquire the skills to identify and use career and education planning resources. Students engage in discussion and self-reflection to determine their interests and aptitudes. Along with the university advisor, each student begins an intensive exploration of university program choices, the admissions requirements for their school of choice, and the variety of post-secondary choices that exist.

Summary: (From Lonelyplanet.com, one of the worlds' most popular travel sites.)"Winnipeg surprises. Rising above the prairie, it's a metropolis where you least expect it. Cultured, confident and captivating, it's more than just a pit stop on the Trans-Canada haul, but a destination in its own right, with a couple of world-class museums and a wonderfully diverse dining scene. Wander its historic neighborhoods and and revel in one of the world's best fringe theater festivals."Beyond the borders of the city is Manitoba. Nestled in the very centre of Canada, Manitoba offers cultural and natural wonders to delight everyone. From the awe-inspiring polar bears that live around the community of Churchill (visited each year by the Grade 9 class of Balmoral Hall students) to breathtaking national parks, to gorgeous sandy beaches that come alive during the summer months, Manitoba has a wealth of experiences for students living abroad.
