Apply for Admission

Students from accepted ISDs may gain admission to FWAFA by completing an application and auditioning. FWAFA accepts new students at every grade level starting in 3rd grade- but please keep in mind that acceptance is limited due to our commitment to small class sizes.

Students and parents may submit applications for the 2021-2022 school year. Students will then be assigned to their auditions.

Audition to Join Us

All students may audition in choir, dance, theater or visual art. Elementary and Middle School students have the option to audition in two areas.

All auditions will currently take place online. Applicants will be scored on a rubric for their chosen artistic disciplines, then ranked according to grade level to determine acceptance or placement on the wait lists. Students must meet a minimum required score for acceptance. Students will not receive a copy of their completed rubric or score.

Audition Workshops

Meet with a Fine Arts representative to learn the basics of auditioning. They’ll help you know what to expect so you can audition with confidence.
