Located in the southeast sector of Ottawa, (Ontario, Canada) Canterbury is a hub of creative activity for over 1100 students. It is a school with 55+ years tradition of excellence made up of students from our local community and students who have auditioned for the specialized Arts Canterbury program. Students in Arts Canterbury enroll in one of the following art programs: dance, drama, literary arts, music, or visual arts. There is rich diversity in the school population that is respected and encouraged. As a result, the students are motivated, creative, energetic and committed to their studies, their school, and their community. Extra-curricular clubs and athletics at Canterbury lend balance to both academics and arts. Our goals are to nurture excellence in our students by challenging them with the best of the academic, artistic, and athletic worlds, and to help students become well-rounded individuals who care about and understand our greater community.
