By now, you have learned about Orange County School of the Arts' (OCSA’s) rigorous academic program, pre-professional arts conservatories, and unique school culture. You are ready to apply!
After becoming familiar with the various conservatories and the skills characteristic of those conservatories through OCSA’s Preview Day, prospective students are invited to fill out an application and participate in the Conservatory Workshop/Review Process to help them decide which conservatory is the best fit for them. OCSA admits all applicants on a space-available basis. Should the number of applicants exceed space available, a lottery is conducted, by conservatory, to determine which students are admitted.
Before getting started, please make sure that you thoroughly understand the Admissions Guidelines and have gathered all of the necessary materials. You will complete your application online and should be prepared to upload all requested materials along with your application. OCSA does not condition its admissions on performance ability. OCSA is committed to serving all students who have demonstrated a passion and/or interest in the arts.
Additional support is available for students, parents, or guardians who require translation in order to best understand our admissions processes, as well as for those who need technology assistance. Applicants who have received or are currently receiving special services are encouraged to request any necessary accommodations to support them during the admissions process.
Please read our Admissions FAQ. You may also contact our admissions office at admissions@ocsarts.net or 714.560.0900 ext. 5510.
