Tour Our
Campus!
"This school is different, and when you set foot on our campus, you will feel it. Each day we create a learning environment united by a passion for the transformative nature of the arts and inspired by opportunities to provide the depth, rigor, and intensity of artistic and academic instruction in preparation for post-secondary opportunities—whether pre-conservatory or university. It is a school excited by the artistic and scholarly processes of inquiry, discovery, and creation as each day we weave artistic and scholarly discourse using the universal language of art."
Timothy E. Farson
Principal, San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts
Experience SDSCPA! Tours are given twice a month (weather permitting) during the school year. Please check our schedule and reserve your seat!
The Audition Process
The audition process is an objective evaluation of a student’s skill, passion, and potential to complete scope and sequence in their program of study and reach a level of proficiency to allow the student to be competitive for an audition or portfolio review for the post-secondary.
All students must audition. While we are not able to make changes to the audition rubric and evaluation process, we are able to accommodate any unique need your student may require to help facilitate their success.
Please be aware that not all Specialized Academic Settings are provided at SDSCPA. If you have questions regarding the Specialized Settings, please contact SDSCPA prior to enrollment.
