In our Theatre programs, you can choose to focus on acting, stage design and technical theatre, theatre studies, or on our costume studies program, which is unique in North America. Our Music programs enable you to train in classical and popular music performance, composition or musicology. And our Cinema and Media Studies program gives you the skills to think critically about the power of the moving image.聽
This is an exciting time for the Fountain School, thanks to our spectacular new building, which includes the Joseph Strug Concert Hall, a 300-seat venue equipped with state-of-the-art technology and superb acoustics. It also houses聽multiple rehearsal, practice and teaching spaces,聽and聽our costume studies program.
Halifax is a city of artists, and the Fountain school is a hub for local musicians, performers and filmmakers. We are frequently able to offer you free or discounted tickets to events.

Our students have gone on to work as actors, advertisers, arts administrators, arts journalists, designers, entertainment lawyers, festival organizers, filmmakers, musicians, playwrights, stage technicians, teachers, and theatre directors.
