Admissions

SOA serves more than 1,100 students in grades 6 through 12. Admission to SOA is based upon a competitive audition in one of nine majors: creative writing, dance, instrumental band, piano, string orchestra, theater arts, visual arts, vocal music, and fashion and costume design. In January 2010, SOA moved from its original campus to its new facility, which features one of the finest theaters in the state, The Rose Maree Myers Theater for the Performing Arts.

Ratings

In August 2010, SOA was joined on its new Bonds-Wilson Campus by Academic Magnet High School. Both schools were named Gold Medal schools by US News and World Report in its 2012 rankings.[4]
