Admission & Audition Process for Freshmen
Freshman 2022-2023: The GoCPS application will open October 13th! Please see the Steps for Admission below.
The application for all rising and current 9th graders is only available through CPS starting in October of a student's 8th grade year. Please visit go.cps.edu for more information and a link to the application. Be sure you have activated your account or received an activation code from CPS.

For non-CPS 7th and 8th graders, contact CPS Office of Access and Enrollment as soon as possible for more information, or visit go.cps.edu.

Academic Requirements

ChiArts is a college-preparatory school, so both academic and artistic programs are rigorous. Students may apply and audition if they meet each of the academic criteria forthcoming.

The CPS High School Admissions Test will be administered in school on Tuesday, November 9th. This test is mandatory for all students who would like to attend a CPS high school.

By completing the application, students are indicating that they are interested and willing to attend an audition. Applicants are responsible for preparing and submitting their auditions through the GoCPS application.

Steps for Admission
Application
Only complete applications will be considered. A complete application includes both the CPS application and test scores.

CPS Students: Your test scores and attendance record will be automatically uploaded through the go.cps.edu website.

Non-CPS Students: You must take the CPS High School Admissions Test. At this time, only 4 dates are available: November 13th, 14th, 20th, 21st. Please visit the GoCPS website here or contact the CPS Office of Access and Enrollment by phone, 773-553-2060, or email, gocps@cps.edu as soon as possible. All testing and application documents must be submitted by the application deadline.

Students with Paper Applications: Paper applications are available for students and must be received by CPS before the set deadline. Online application is strongly encouraged. Paper applicants will experience a processing delay as well as limited audition options. Please apply online, if at all possible.

Students must apply no later than the date set by CPS. It is the student's responsibility to provide accurate contact information. ChiArts communicates primarily by email, so please ensure that the email address you provide is valid and checked frequently.

Due to the high volume of applications, early audition registration is encouraged. We have a limited number of available audition days, and late registration or rescheduling an audition may not be an option.
School Ranking
Students, please pay careful attention to where you place schools when ranking them in your GoCPS application. Rank will play a very important role in your school program placement. If ChiArts is your top school choice, be sure to rank your favorite program #1 on your Choice list to ensure that if you pass the audition process, you will secure a seat at ChiArts. For more information, please visit the CPS website, go.cps.edu.
Programs
Students may apply for no more than two of the following disciplines: Creative Writing, Dance, Music (Instrumental or Vocal), Theatre (Acting or Musical Theatre), or Visual Arts.

If you apply for more than two programs, you will be asked to select your two top choices and will only be permitted to audition for those two programs, or the first two programs for which you attend auditions.
Auditions
If you are eligible to audition based on the above academic requirements, start preparing for your audition! We have helpful audition guides available on our website here.

Auditions will take place both in person and virtually this year. It is your responsibility to present a complete, prepared audition. Be prepared to present an audition with all requirements for your discipline listed on our website here.

If your child is eligible for an audition and requires an accommodation identified in the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that is necessary in order to audition, you must inform ChiArts Admissions staff prior to the audition day. The procedures for this will be communicated once audition invitations are sent.
Acceptance Process
Once all auditions take place, CPS will match students with their best-fit schools and notice of admission placement will be sent out by CPS in March. Students waitlisted will receive notice of their placement on the GoCPS application at the same time as admission placement.

Notes on the Audition Process

All auditions will take place virtually this year. Audition requirements for each discipline are available on our website here. It is the student's responsibility to research and meet all requirements, and present a prepared audition. Auditions are scored using a rubric ( samples are available on our website here), judging performance, presentation, and potential. The audition panel for each discipline includes, but is not limited to, the following: a community arts partner, a ChiArts representative, ChiArts conservatory department head or assistant.

Students will only compete for slots in their discipline and within each subgroup of each discipline (flute students will not compete with visual artists for a slot, and beginning dance students will not compete with advanced students, etc.) Admission slots for each freshman class include:

Creative Writing: 18

Dance: 30 (novice, intermediate, and advanced combined)

Music: 60 (brass, guitar, percussion, piano, strings, voice, and winds combined)

Theatre: 36 (acting and musical theatre combined)

Visual Arts: 32

ChiArts reserves the right to adjust admission slots in each area based on the number of applicants.
