To the parents, families, and caregivers sending a student to Mount Allison this fall: thank you.

Thank you for entrusting us with someone who means the world to you.

We know this transition is not easy. While your student is beginning an exciting new chapter, you are beginning one, too. There may be pride, excitement, and anticipation, along with a little worry, uncertainty, and a quiet house that feels very different.

Over the next few years, we will have the privilege of watching your student grow, discover who they are, build lifelong friendships, and find their own path.

We do not take that trust lightly.

We are honoured to be part of their journey and will be cheering them on every step of the way.

Welcome to the Mount A family.

Looking back to the 2026 Summer Academy of Music…

July 12-18, we welcomed a talented and enthusiastic group of young musicians to the Mount Allison campus for the Summer Academy – an enjoyable week of music-making. We look forward to our next Summer Academy of Music in 2027!

Many thanks to Summer Academy counselors Anna Grear and Jude Taylor Bourque for providing photos.
