The Banff School – Summer Programs

A SUMMER THAT STICKS WITH THEM

Not every summer needs to be spent in front of a screen.

Some summers are meant for discovery—for stories told around a table, experiments that spark curiosity, and quiet moments when a child realizes they're capable of more than they thought.

At The Banff School, summer is a chance to grow—not just academically, but personally.
