The CMS lottery is the way most students are admitted to our school after a passed audition. All students who attend NWSA must first pass an audition AND must enter the lottery for the corresponding NWSA program. If your child has not yet been scheduled, the Fall audition information dates/deadlines will apply to them. ALL current 8th grade NWSA students who wish to continue at NWSA for High School must pass a High School audition AND must enter the lottery for the corresponding NWSA program!

Students at NWSA concentrate in arts areas, or "majors." Middle school students are only permitted to major in one arts area, even if they pass two auditions. High school students are able to major in more than one area. It is also important to note that 8th graders who intend to remain at NWSA for High School must pass an audition in order to be guaranteed their seat at NWSA for high school. This applies even to new NWSA students who just passed an audition to get into 8th grade.

The "Audition at NWSA" tab (above) contains an Audition Process Checklist to help you manage the process. The checklist only covers essential steps, so please review the website entirely. Follow the steps, observe dates and deadlines, and make sure your child prepares for their audition or portfolio review using the Audition Requirements!
