Balmoral Hall School

What Balmoral Hall School does

Balmoral Hall School is an independent, nondenominational all-girls day and boarding school located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, founded in 1901. It operates as a registered Canadian charity (Charitable Registration No. 12994 3932 RR0001) and educates students from Junior Nursery through Grade 12, serving both domestic day families and a domestic/international boarding population. The institution's curriculum stack includes the IB Primary Years Programme, the College Board AP Program, an Apple Distinguished School designation with a 1:1 device program, and a co-curricular Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (TIE) certificate for grades 7-12, supported by digital credentials/badges and a publicly accessible Remote Learning Hub. Supporting programs include BH Blazers Hockey, competitive debate and public speaking, BH Beginnings Reggio Emilia-based child care, and career and postsecondary advisement for college-admissions test preparation.

The school generates revenue from multiple recurring streams: tuition for day students (varying by grade level), boarding fees including international student fees, BH Beginnings child care, and uniform sales through a Shopify e-commerce store. A significant supplementary revenue and capital channel is the BH Foundation, which was incorporated in the 1990s, sat dormant for two decades, and was reactivated to drive endowment, scholarships, and capital projects including the Benidickson Centre for Arts & Design. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the school's website (balmoralhall.com), campus tours, virtual tours, open houses, and a multi-channel social media presence (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube, SoundCloud), supported by the Balmoral Hall Parent Association and an active alumnae network. The technology stack is built on a My BH parent/student portal (via myschoolapp.com), Shopify for retail, and Apple hardware throughout the curriculum. The school employs 86 staff and is governed by a Board of Governors; notable leadership includes Head of School Joanne Kamins, Junior School Principal Nancy MacTavish, Middle & Senior School Principal Jodi Hafenbrak, Director of Innovation & Technology Lois McGill, and Director of Arts and Culture Judith Steek.
