In reviewing applications for admission, the Academy will therefore seek evidence of the following qualities: potential and ability in the arts; the commitment and self-discipline to advance in both artistic and academic studies; and the ability to contribute to building a successful, supportive and inclusive school community. The application process consists of two stages: the audition registration and the audition in the arts. A panel composed of staff from ProArts Colleges, artists from community arts organizations, and BAA staff conducts the auditions.
