        FAQ

        FAQ

        Why should I choose Boston Ballet School? 
        As a premier ballet school in the United States, Boston Ballet School offers a unique ballet training experience. International students improve technique while immersing themselves in American culture and language. Students study at Boston Ballet's Company headquarters in Boston's historic South End.

        What is an M-1 visa? 
        The M-1 is a type of student visa used for vocational training schools and non-English language schools. Schools teaching specialized skills or trade arts, like ballet, are included under this visa.

        Can I work in the United States with an M-1 visa? 
        No, M-1 visa students are not permitted to work in the United States.

        Where do I find housing and academic information? 
        We have created a list of suggested housing and academic options for international students: Residential and Academic Options

        Is there financial assistance? 
        Limited financial assistance and scholarship is available. Talent-based merit scholarships are awarded to select students based on their audition. Need-based financial assistance is awarded for students who qualify before the first tuition installment is due. Students applying for financial assistance must submit documentation comparable to a US tax return in order to verify familial annual income
