Prosillio Programme
Prosillio is an integrated academic and dance pathway delivered through the partnership between Ao Tawhiti Unlimited Discovery and Canterbury Ballet and Dance Academy.
It is a unified, academically credible and professionally recognised programme that bridges studio training and academic learning. Designed around two complementary strands, the
programme offers built-in flexibility: students may follow a full pathway, specialise in one strand to create space for other subjects, or combine both to build a more immersive dance–academic programme.
This personalisation ensures every student can align their study with their strengths, needs and
aspirations. Prosillio is the only programme in New Zealand that provides both University Entrance and Scholarship qualifications whilst preparing and supporting dancers equally for tertiary study and for engagement in the dance industry.
The Prosillio Programme is designed for young dancers who want the very
best of both worlds: Excellent Dance Training and a strong future-focused
education.
Developed jointly by Ao Tawhiti Unlimited Discovery and Canterbury Ballet & Dance Academy, Prosillio offers a flexible system that allows students to
progress in dance while also maintaining access to the full breadth of
academic subjects needed for university pathways.
Every student has a personalised Individual Education Plan (IEP) that ensures dance commitments, wellbeing, academic learning and future goals work together in a balanced supportive way.
