PROFESSIONALLY OR JUST FOR FUN

Vancouver Young Actors School is the elite training school for kids and teens in Canada. This program is committed to offering the most advanced form of training for both the young professional actor who is pursuing this career at the highest level, as well as the young actor who is inspired by the arts, and wants to have a great time exploring that passion.

Our 16-week programs run on weekends or after school, and offer a combination of classic fundamentals and modern techniques, to stay in touch with today’s evolving industry. Our system of measurable results in a subjective field eliminates the ceiling on their potential, and helps give kids and teens the confidence to do anything – on or off the camera.

MORE THAN AN ACTING CLASS.

At Vancouver Young Actors School, students don’t just learn how to act, they learn how to communicate, collaborate, take risks, build confidence, and feel comfortable being themselves.

Our programs combine professional-level on-camera training, small class sizes, age-specific development, real casting-room experience, and practical industry education in a supportive and encouraging environment.

For students interested in pursuing acting, VYAS provides the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the world of film, television and commercial auditions, and professional performance. But your child doesn’t have to dream of becoming an actor to benefit from our programs.

Acting can be an incredible confidence builder, especially for shy or nervous kids. Students are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones, express themselves, make new friends, work as a team, and discover their own voice, all while having fun and feeling supported.

Whether your child dreams of being on screen, wants to develop their acting skills, or simply needs a little help coming out of their shell, VYAS gives them a place to grow.

Build confidence. Find your voice. Make friends. Learn the craft. Discover what you’re capable of. Be What You Love
