Admissions
Students must perform ten hours of community service each year (twice the district mandate), maintain that 85% average, and have very good discipline. Each child's parents must also do a total of ten hours of service annually, but parent service can include attending performances or parent meetings.
Admission to Savannah Arts Academy requires an 80% or greater overall academic average in the previous year of schooling, as well as satisfactory marks in conduct.
The audition requirement for Savannah Arts is waived for students enrolled in the Armstrong Atlantic Youth Orchestra (AAYO) or the Atlantic Chamber Orchestra (ACO) who meet the academic requirements. AAYO and ACO are member Orchestras that are filled by recommendation, including an intensive audition process, and are sponsored by the music department at Armstrong Atlantic State University.
Incoming students are also required to audition for their chosen arts major, which can range from an on-the-spot demonstration (music, theatre and dance) to creation of a portfolio (visual and communication arts).
