Application and Audition Process
Students are accepted into their chosen field, namely Drama, Dance, Visual Arts, Music (Band or Strings), Film and Musical Theatre, after undergoing an application process and passing an audition the year before.
They must submit their grade seven, last term report card and grade eight, first term report card as well as a letter of reference from an academic teacher (previous or present) and principal and (optionally) from an arts instructor in their area of interest. They must also submit a filled-out form indicating their preference of arts major(s) and minor, their preference of in academic subjects (academic, applied or locally developed) and their past instruction in their area(s) of interest.
As part of the audition process, they must write an essay on a suggested topic (known only on the day of the audition) and undergo an interview with some distinguished individuals from the school (graduates, instructors, etc.) in their area of interest. Each year approximately 1000 students are auditioned and 200 students are accepted, primarily at the grade 9 level, however, some students may be accepted at higher grade levels should places become available.

Famous quotes containing the words application and/or process:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“... geometry became a symbol for human relations, except that it was better, because in geometry things never go bad. If certain things occur, if certain lines meet, an angle is born. You cannot fail. It’s not going to fail; it is eternal. I found in rules of mathematics a peace and a trust that I could not place in human beings. This sublimation was total and remained total. Thus, I’m able to avoid or manipulate or process pain.”
—Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911)
