Thanks to an ongoing partnership between NYC Public Schools and a group of leading cultural organizations, including Lincoln Center, the New York Philharmonic, and The Juilliard School, rising eighth-grade students currently attending NYC public schools can apply for the 2025 Middle School Arts Audition Boot Camp, a two-week, in-person intensive summer arts program for students who are planning on auditioning for NYC's screened arts-based high school programs in fall 2025.

Students may apply and audition for only one studio, and parents/guardians must grant their children permission in order for them to submit an application. All eligible students who submit a complete application by the deadline must also audition in person either on April 5 or April 6.
