The application process for the 2009 - 2010 school year is now closed.

Admission

The Academy accepts students who have an interest in pursuing the performing, creative or visual arts as a career, or as an avocation. Students should be aware that academic, creative and performance standards are the same for all students, whether or not an artistic career path is followed. Students must be entering or enrolled in a public high school, and are encouraged to spend a minimum of three years at the Academy. Applications for admission are available through local school districts' teachers and guidance counselors, and from the Academy.

We recommend that students interested in applying for the 2010-2011 academic year and their parents to attend one of the Open House Information Sessions to learn more about the both the full and half day programs, as well as coordination with sending schools.

Tuition (half-day program)

Some school districts designate a specific number of students for whom tuition to the Academy will be paid by their local school boards. The Academy may also accept students whose tuition is paid either by their families or by some source of funding other than school boards.
