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:
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“The process of writing has something infinite about it. Even though it is interrupted each night, it is one single notation.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
