SCHOOL OF THE ARTS
ACADEMICS COMPLEMENTED BY AN ARTS-BASED CURRICULUM Strong Academics | Artistic Talents | Neighborhood of the Arts SOTA offers traditional academics complemented by an arts-based curriculum, with an educational philosophy that melds together the electricity of the creative arts and the energy of academic learning. Academic and arts programs are enhanced through the school’s association with community partners, including the Hochstein School, Eastman School of Music, Memorial Art Gallery, and Rochester Museum and Science Center. In addition to AP classes in academics and the arts, students at SOTA also have the opportunity to participate in athletics, clubs, and performance events throughout the school year.
Students who desire high academic achievement and want to develop their artistic talents should apply to the School of the Arts (SOTA). Students at SOTA carry a full academic course load in addition to a rigorous Fine Arts sequence in one of six subject areas – Creative Writing, Dance, Drama, Music (Instrumental and Vocal), Theatre Technology, and Visual Arts. Each semester, students are required to participate in performances, showcases, recitals, and exhibitions within their major field of study. Due to the extensive Performing Arts calendar, SOTA students commit to instruction that extends well beyond the school day. Admission to the School of the Arts is based on a formal audition process. Students will be scheduled for an audition once they complete the SOTA application. The deadline to apply is December 19, 2025 . Auditions will take place in the last week of January.
