École nationale de cirque

A LEADER IN CIRCUS ARTS TRAINING, RESEARCH AND INNOVATION Founded in 1981, the National Circus School trains circus arts educators and artists who go on to shine on the international scene. 

It offers the complete spectrum of circus arts education, from the preparatory level and the Circus and High School Studies program to postsecondary programs that lead to a college diploma. In addition, students completing one of the circus arts teacher training programs may earn an Attestation of Collegial Studies. 

The School offers food services to its students on site. It also possesses the greatest library dedicated to circus arts in America, as well as as a health clinic offering medecine, psychology, physiotherapy, masotherapy and social works services. Students can also benefit from bursaries offered by the School's Foundation, and enjoy numerous cultural outings. 

The School also owns the Center for Research, Innovation and Transfer in Circus Arts (CRITAC), and so lies at the core of the circus arts research and development ecosystem, both nationally and internationally.
