By this step, we hope you’ve discovered the impressive academic offerings, dynamic performing arts program, and distinctive school environment that make ASA an exceptional option for your student and family. 

Please remember the following information when applying for enrollment:

  • The Arizona School for the Arts uses a lottery system to determine enrollment for new students.
  • The 2025-2026 Online Application Portal will open on October 1, 2024.
  • To be considered in the lottery, applicants must complete the application and submit all requested documents by the January 22, 2025, 11:59 PM deadline.
  • After submitting the application, a confirmation email will be sent to the enrolling parent/guardian. Further information required for the completion of the application will be communicated through email by the school.
  • On January 27, 2025, the school will conduct a random, electronically generated lottery, including all students with a complete application.
  • After the lottery, students will receive a waitlist number. The first round of offers will be sent on January 31, 2025, and then every Friday thereafter.
  • An initial email will be sent containing either an offer of enrollment or a notification that the student will be placed on the waitlist, along with their waitlist number on the application portal.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: Siblings of currently enrolled ASA students or alumni should still submit an online application. They will not be part of the lottery process and will be placed at the top of the waitlist for their grade level.

We strongly encourage all applicants to read the Enrollment Policies and Procedures for more detailed information and review the enrollment timeline.

TESTING AND PLACEMENT

Every student at ASA is on a path to prepare for college or conservatory success. That’s our mission! In order to ensure that students have the support and/or challenge they need, we make placements thoughtfully based upon prior grade reports, records, and prior testing. Both standard college prep and advanced programs in Math and English Language Arts are available at every grade level. In high school, AP and Dual Enrollment credits are also available. All placements are made once an offer has been accepted and records have been received. If the school needs more information to make the proper placement, you may be asked to bring your student to campus for an additional placement test/evaluation.  

The buttons below provide the standard course sequence for middle and high school.

MIDDLE SCHOOL COURSE SEQUENCE HIGH SCHOOL COURSE SEQUENCE

The performing arts play an important role in developing academic success. The goal for the ASA performing arts program is for the student to gain mastery in a specific arts area or discipline. Students are placed in classes according to skill rather than age/grade level. The evaluation process for requests for placement higher than the beginning level is designed to assist students in discovering the most suitable level of arts education that will stimulate and inspire them to accomplish their objectives. All incoming dance students must participate in the evaluation process for placement regardless of level.

ASA offers programs in music, theatre, and dance (click links for course sequences). Placement in ASA performing arts classes is based upon availability at each student’s performance level. 

New students who have accepted an offer of enrollment will receive their performing arts classes by mid-May. All performing arts classes are assigned for new students based on the order of receipt of their arts request and their evaluation results. All art classes at ASA are limited by class size.
