Information Sessions during School Days
SPCPA hosts informational sessions for prospective students and their parents/guardians on selected dates throughout the school year. This experience is a great way for prospective students to get a feel for the culture and climate of our school by engaging with school staff and current students, as well as observing arts and academic courses. Visiting SPCPA is beneficial for students to determine if the school is going to be a good fit. Please see the website calendar for upcoming prospective student experience dates.

Complete an Application
You can pick up an application if you visit SPCPA, as specified above, download it from our website (see link below), or have one mailed to you. SPCPA is currently accepting applications for the 2012-2013 school year, which are due by February 1, 2012.
If there are more applicants than space available, a lottery is conducted to determine which applicants will fill the open spots. Anyone not accepted at that time is placed in our waiting pool, by grade level, and a lottery conducted as spots open up. Enrollment is not on a “first come, first served” basis.
Applications submitted after the registration deadline are placed in the waiting pool and the lottery process applied. SPCPA may continue to accept students from the waiting pool during the school year as spots become available.
