A computer with internet access
An adult advisor
Money for application fees
A headshot (optional) (optional) (optional) (optional)

Step 1: Begin the process early

Begin your application process early. Application deadlines may be as early as the winter before the fall semester, and some schools have waiting lists.

Tip: While it never hurts to aim big, know the level of competition you'll face and the commitment that will be required if you're accepted.

Step 2: Find application information

Find the school's Web site, read the application information, and download the application. Note other requirements, such as photos, videos, letters of recommendation, or auditions.

Tip: Alternatively, call the school's registration office and request that an application packet be mailed to you.

Step 3: Complete the application

Fill out the application completely, and collect required materials and application fees. Have your adult advisor look over your application.

Step 4: Submit the application materials

Place the application and materials together in one packet. Mail the packet early so it arrives before the application deadline.

Step 5: Audition or interview

If a school requires an in-person audition or interview, follow the instructions to be sure you arrive on time and prepared to perform or discuss your experience as required. If you're not sure what to expect at the audition or interview, ask your advisor or your contact at the school.

Tip: Be yourself and show that you're serious -- and passionate -- about a performing arts education.

Step 6: Prepare for the results

Allow yourself to relax once you've completed the audition or interview. It's a tough process! Passion and hard work are eventually rewarded.

At my daughter’s Performing Arts College a male teacher was recently dismissed for inappropriate conduct- dating several female students & posting nude pictures on Facebook.

Last week I went to see and end-of-term show & this idiot not only had the gall to attend but actually clambered on stage during a dance piece with a large dildo strapped to his forehead & a T-shirt saying “I AM SEX WHORE!!!” This was filmed, & is apparently all part of a taxpayer-funded ‘internet performance project’!

There is some MISINFORMATION on this subject. A public high school will NOT charge any money -for anything. However, a good school WILL require you to audition! How else can they know if the applicant has any talent?! Whatever talent you want to present, Prepare at least three (3) selections.

And, unlike some of these posts, here, learn to spell and to speak well. That is a requirement for any high school!
