Saint Joseph Ballet is committed to on-going self-assessment and evaluation and has conducted three independent impact studies since 1993.  The results of these studies indicate that Saint Joseph Ballet students consistently exceed their peers nationally in the abilities, behaviors and attitudes that lead to successful and healthy lives.

Such documented effectiveness makes SJB a model program and resource for communities searching for positive alternatives for youth at risk.

  “At Saint Joseph Ballet, I learned to be confident in what I want to do and what I love to do.  This confidence really helped me through the interviewing process when I applied for internships during college and when I applied for a job after graduation.  Because of all the guidance and financial assistance I received from Saint Joseph Ballet, I’m going into the real world without any financial burdens.  I don’t think I would have been able to go to the school I wanted and be where I am upon graduation without the direction and assistance I received from Saint Joseph Ballet."
