Jaden, my daughter danced consistently through high school as she was a dance major an arts magnet school. It’s just that the focus of the high school was more toward modern and jazz – as she had shifted from ballet studio to school, she stopped dancing en pointe. So she wasn’t in a situation like yours – she had taken ballet class every day at her high school, it just wasn’t en pointe. (The ballet pieces the high school did were contemporary, not classical, and my daughter’s interests shifted toward choreography; I think she would have liked to have more of an opportunity to choreograph at Barnard, but it didn’t work out that way for her.)

I do think that for you, coming back after a hiatus of several years, you would probably find that Barnard would offer the level of challenge and opportunity that is very appropriate for your needs.
