STEP 1
We will begin accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year on September 1, 2024. The deadline for submitting an application is February 1, 2025. All applications received by February 1, 2025 will be equally considered. For any grade level or arts track where we have more applications than space available, we will conduct a lottery to determine admission for that grade or track. Applications who are not chosen in the lottery will be placed on a waiting list and notified promptly if a space becomes available. Applications received after the deadline will be considered on a first come, first served basis as space permits. Applicants will be notified of the status of their application as early as possible.

Sign up for an info session
Families may sign up for an info session, a tour, and/or shadow day. You may find that you only need one of those three experiences to make your decision. Or you may want to do all of them.
Info sessions happen monthly and give you the opportunity to hear about our arts and academics programs. Info sessions do not include a tour. Info sessions go into the greatest depth about programming, and there is ample opportunity to have questions answered.
schedule a tour
Tours are available most Fridays at 1PM. On a tour you will see our spaces and experience SPCPA in action. Tours begin with a mini info session and brief Q&A.

Register for a Shadow Day:
Experience a day in the life of an SPCPA student. Prospective students are matched with a host student who guides them through their day in arts and academic classes. Shadow Days are offered one day each month throughout the school year and give prospective students an opportunity to experience the school’s culture.
