Any resident of Michigan is eligible to attend Arts Academy in
the Woods tuition free. On the application form, you are asked to
prioritize your interests in the Arts Areas and select as many of
the five areas as you wish. You will be placed according to your
preferences, as space is available. After acceptance and registration,
an audition is required for placement into the arts classes, and
placement tests will be given for the academic areas.
Each of the Arts Areas will be assigned a maximum number of students
that may be enrolled in that discipline. As soon as the maximum
number for any discipline has been reached, that area is closed
and no further students will be accepted in that area.
There is a series of deadlines for accepting students. When a deadline
is reached, and an Arts Area is not filled, students will be accepted
into that area of the Academy. If an Arts Area has more applicants
than spaces available at the registration deadline, students will
be selected by lottery in that area. After that deadline, only the
remaining slots will be considered for future students until the
next deadline. Students will continue to be accepted after each
deadline only for the available spaces.
