Balmoral Hall School

Balmoral Hall School is a CAIS (Canadian Asssociation of Independent Schools) Boarding School. Located in the heart of Winnipeg, Balmoral Hall was founded in 1901 to offer comprehensive girls’ education. An independent day and boarding school for girls aged 2 to Grade 12, Balmoral Hall welcomes students from around the world, encouraging them to discover their passions in academics, arts, and athletics. For more than a century, Balmoral Hall has been committed to empowering girls to pursue their dreams.

Girls who come to BH find that their lives have changed forever. Year after year, graduates find acceptance at the post-secondary schools of their choice. Friendships formed at school continue as part of our closely knit alumnae community. And the confidence, determination, and resilience that begin at BH last the rest of their lives.

Balmoral Hall School believes that they provide the best education for girls. Balmoral Hall welcomes girls from around the world each year to study and live at the campus in beautiful Winnipeg, Manitoba. At Balmoral Hall School, they believe that immersion in the culture of the school is essential to ESL students’ development as English language learners. One of the most important learning opportunities occurs in the daily interaction with native English speakers. As well, ESL students receive a personalized program delivered by dedicated ESL teachers that focuses on rigorous academic expectations, English language learning, and cultural awareness.

Why Balmoral Hall School

Campus: The stately 20-room, three-story house was designed by John H.G. Russell and built in 1902 for Sir James and his family. After the United Church took over the property in 1929, the house was used as the girls’ residence until the early 1970s. The house received historical designation from the City of Winnipeg in 1999.

Co-curricular activities: . Every weekend an optional activity is planned for students such as skating or rock climbing. Students may opt to go to the movies, bake cookies, or visit a friend’s house. Weekends can be cultural or educational, busy or quiet. All boarding students are members of Winnipeg Winter Club, a nearby premiere fitness facility. Students have access to tennis, swimming, and fitness equipment. Additionally, students are encouraged to take private music instruction, dance lessons at Royal Winnipeg Ballet, and more.

Culture: Students will experience four very distinct seasons throughout the year. In September the leaves change colour and soon the snow will fall. As average temperatures dip to -25 Celsius in the winter, the Red River Mutual Trail freezes over for ice skating. In March the snow will start to melt and green grass will sprout again. Soon we will be planning outdoor BBQs when the average June temperature is +25 Celsius.

Other key points: For more than a century, Balmoral Hall School has been committed to empowering girls to pursue their dreams. Rigorous teaching prepares students for academic excellence. Balmoral Hall students are risk-takers, their curiosity is insatiable, and, most importantly, they rise to challenges.
