Welcome to the Portal to Apply for PVA!
While PVA is an auditioned program, there is a place for everyone with a passion for the arts. All students who audition will be placed in either PVA or PVA Intro.
Some students with a newly discovered passion for the arts need time to develop foundational skills before they can find success in enriched and rigorous studies. PVA Intro allows such students the opportunity to come to Central and focus on this learning. Students enrolled in PVA Intro are welcome to re-audition for PVA after developing fundamental skills and confidence in artistic work.
All students who submit the following online Expression of Interest form for a PVA program will be contacted by a school office administrator in January to arrange an audition/interview date and time for mid-late January. Please visit your intended program’s page to learn about how to prepare for your audition/interview.
If you have questions about the application process, please email the PVA Learning Leader, Michelle Crimmins, for follow-up details.
Students should complete the Expression of Interest Form below.
We will be in touch to arrange a portfolio review/audition after receiving your form!
