Admissions
All DSOA students are accepted by competitive audition. Most students enter at grade nine, although students in higher grades may apply to DSOA in later years. The audition process takes place on a yearly basis; no mid-year transfers are conducted. Only legal residents of Palm Beach County may audition.
Prospective students must first submit the Choice Programs Application to the School District of Palm Beach County's Department of School Choice and Choice Programs by December of the preceding school year. Auditioning students must then attend an Audition Sign-Up Day to schedule their audition. This typically occurs in mid-to-late January. Audition dates run from late January through early March. Audition results and admission decisions are then mailed to prospective students on a date determined by the school district, typically in mid-April.
