About NOCCA

A successful NOCCA student is expected to maintain a professional level of commitment to training and progress. NOCCA’s rules, procedures and grading system mirror those of the professional arts world, so that students receive rewards and setbacks at NOCCA based on the same criteria they would face in an arts career.
NOCCA is tuition-free, but students are required to pay a Student Fee to cover supply costs.

About NOCCA’s Academic Studio
The class is limited to 9th grade students only (current 8th graders eligible to apply).
A student must first be admitted to one of the arts disciplines as a Level I Monday-Friday student based upon successful completion of the audition process. A NOCCA Level I Arts student acceptance is a young artist considered by faculty to have a fundamental base in training and proficiency per their age and grade level. A typical NOCCA Level I Arts student is a student who works on their art form weekly, if not daily, pushing and challenging themselves. If you are accepted into an arts discipline as a Level I student and you have submitted a complete Academic Studio application, you will be notified in March 2012. A selection lottery will be coordinated if successful Academic Studio applicants exceed eligible spots.
Only current 8th graders may apply.
