ABOUT SCHOLA CANTORUM: High school students selected for their musical passion, potential and talent join the Schola Cantorum, where they receive fully-subsidized training in singing, playing an instrument and choral music. Singing in the choir is a core part of the scholar’s experience. Scholars will stay with the program until they graduate Grade 12. During this time, they will receive an integrated, structured and sustained music education in an after-school extracurricular mode, thus allowing them to continue studying in their respective regular high school, while enjoying the experience of simultaneously attending a “high school for the arts” or “choir school”. This allows them to integrate music with other pursuits in their everyday life, no matter what path they later choose to follow. SELECTION AND SCHOLARSHIP: At the beginning of every school year, 20 to 25 students (currently at Grade 9 & 10) will be selected based on their auditions and musical aptitude. [In highly exceptional cases, an applicant at Grade 11 or 12 may also be considered]. A scholar will receive 100% free tuition for all music training, lessons and classes in the program. Expenses and materials related to music classes or performances will be shouldered by Schola Cantorum. However, this scholarship does not include transportation, food, clothing, accommodation and other usual expenses related to going to/returning from Schola Cantorum sessions at the Madz Music Studio in Eastwood QC.
