Thank you for your interest in our school! The CMS School Choice 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. ***NEW: There is only one lottery application window this school year. ***If your child has not yet been scheduled, the Fall audition information dates/deadlines will apply to them. 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 current 8th graders who intend to remain at NWSA for High School must pass an audition AND must enter the lottery for the corresponding NWSA program 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!
Below you can find a recording that will give you more information about our school! I'm available to answer questions after you have reviewed the information on this website. Check out the other tabs on the menu above for lots of information about our school! We would also love for you to join us at one of our Tours/information Sessions!
Best of luck and "break a leg"!
