    Want to build on your natural talent and learn along with other students who share your passion? Performing arts high school could be perfect for you.
    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.
    Did You Know?
    Did you know? The 1980 film Fame popularized the performing arts school lifestyle through fictional students at the New York City High School for the Performing Arts.

    The information in this video is for rural, suburban schools, NOT for major schools teaching the Performing Arts.
    For the major schools, students are required to audition. The audition will require two prepared works, an improvisation and a personal interview. It is best to get all the information from your school guidance counselor and to prepare early.

    I have a question( anyone could answer) Let's say u get bad grades in 7th grade (81-84 average) and the high school you want to go to requires 85 and above grades. Is it POSSIBLE to you to get accepted if you get GREAT(95-100) grades in 8th grade?

      Miranda Bryant depends on just how much dedication you take in your art, any doubts you have about yourself will be your downfall, my dedication is what lead to my success of becoming fully operatically trained in just 4 years as well as improving greatly in acting. You NEVER should doubt yourself and always way strive to improve, push yourself as hard as you can, those who are the most successful have been unsuccessful and discouraged by everyone for years. And yet they refuse to listen
