Emil Dale Academy is a musical theatre school founded in Hitchin, Hertfordshire before relocating to Letchworth in 2024.

The Hertfordshire school offers a Bachelor of Arts degree awarded by the University of Bedfordshire, BTEC Level 3 diploma, and foundation and sixth form courses for full-time students (16+).

In 2014, a second campus opened in Cambridge under the name Emil Dale's School of Performing Arts, which ran part-time and weekend programmes until closing in 2023.

The school's namesake Emil Dale, a graduate of London's ArtsEd from Biggleswade, began hosting a musical theatre Sunday school with co-founder Victoria Hammond when he was 23 with the idea of inviting West End professionals to guest teach classes at a more affordable rate than other programmes of its kind.
