Flight Studio brings extracurricular creative arts programming to young citizens of Stratford, Ontario and neighbouring communities. We offer a variety of classes and workshops throughout the school year in the areas of visual art, music, voice and drama.

This is Flight

The arts have intrinsic value and can be transformative. Through artistic expression kids can learn to share their ideas, think critically, innovate and build self-esteem.

Flight Studio has found its year round home in Room 1D at the Falstaff Family Centre.  We are honoured to share our space with Loreena McKennitt and all the amazing arts initiatives that have held tenancies at Falstaff. We feel inspired to build on those legacies through the sharing of ideas, collaborations and community partnerships with the hope of building a lasting arts space that is synonymous with youth and creativity.

Activities for kids Stratford
  • "Flight Studio gives my child a joyful community of creative people. The instructors are top notch and he is learning so much from their expertise. We are so fortunate to have excellent programming available to these young artists in the making. Flight classes are loaded with practical learning, open hearts, and imaginations that soar!"

  • "I’m so happy my daughter has a wonderful environment to grow in at Flight Studio, with amazing mentors and opportunities for building friendships with kids who have similar interests and skills as she has.

    - B.R.

  • “Our son has flourished with the help of the incredibly talented, supportive and dedicated instructors at Flight. This type of education is exactly what our community needs.”

    - C.K.

  • "We are back for round two of classes with Flight Studio and have only the very best things to say about our experience. 5 stars all around - thrilled to be a part of the Flight Studio family!"

    - H.T.

  • "We couldn't be happier with Musical Munchkins - it's the perfect introduction to music and Ruby is loving her mornings at Flight Studio! Her teacher is so warm and fun. It's a wonderful program."

  • Flight Studio is a stunning space, and is fueled with big hearts. The Flight Choir's Director, Brooke Duffton, is an absolute gem for our Stratford community. She is amazing with the kids, and provides high caliber vocal and musical instruction, in ways that are fun and exciting to the children. The applied theory that has been woven into vocal techniques, repertoire, stage presence and performance, has allowed our child to move between instruments with their theoretical knowledge. We have been taken aback at how wonderful the experience at Flight Studio Choir has been, and we look forward to many more years under the direction of Dr. Brooke Duffton in the lovely space at Flight.
