Do you provide accommodation or should I find and book accommodation?
School dorm is unfortunately not available during summer programme. We recommend you to contact the youth hostel called “Jugendherberge Stuttgart International”. If you would like to make a booking at this hostel, please state “John Cranko Schule” when making your reservation.

Yes, for those of you who would like to join the John Cranko School as a student from September 2025, we will consider this period as an audition.

If you would like to apply additionally for the next school year, it is completely sufficient to upload the files exclusively under "Summer School" and fill out the form accordingly. If a "yes" is ticked in "Application as full-time student" on the application form, we will consider the participation as an application.
