RAD Results Are In!

We’re thrilled to share the outstanding results from this year’s RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) examinations!

An impressive 78% of our students achieved the prestigious Distinction classification—a reflection of their technical skill, musicality, and commitment to excellence. Even more remarkable, four of our students—Elise Lai, Rebecca Sanborn, Nina Wilcoxon, and Brinley Baum—earned the rare and highly esteemed High Distinction classification, placing them among the very top tier of RAD candidates worldwide.

We are incredibly proud of all our students and extend heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Lesley and the entire Conservatory ballet faculty for their expert guidance. These results are a testament to the strength and spirit of our program and community.

Bravo, everyone!
