Mastery in Circus Arts

About the Program

The flagship program at Eastern Acrobatics. Train full-time in a focused, career-prep environment alongside a small cohort of serious artists.

Mornings: core curriculum — specialty coaching, handstands, tumbling, strength & mobility. Afternoons: extended training and act building.

All students get unlimited self-training access to our fully equipped facility at 28 Eliot Street, Natick, MA.

Who It's For

Post-high school students and adults pursuing a professional circus career.

The dividing line between Mastery and Mastery Prep is school completion, not age. If you have a diploma or GED, this is your program — whether you're 17 or 35.

No fixed program length. Get a cruise ship contract in 1–2 years, or train for 5+ years to compete at the highest level. Your timeline, your goals.

What Makes EAC Different

• Jacob Skeffington trained at the National Circus School of Montreal and with the China National Acrobatics Troupe — one of the most rigorous training environments in the world.
• Small cohorts mean individualized coaching. No cookie-cutter curriculum.
• EAC graduates don't plateau — they keep improving after they leave, because the foundations are built to last.
• Foundations that last. Skills that compound.
