International Students

Fei Tian Academy of the Arts welcomes students with artistic promise from outside the United States. An audition is normally required of all students who apply, including those applying from abroad. However, with prior approval from the Academy for special situations, international applicants may send samples of their art work or videotapes of their performances in lieu of an audition.

Transcripts and pertinent medical records must be translated into English before submission. Other information, such as ESL test scores, that may be helpful in determining the grade and academic course level placement at Fei Tian should also be included.

Upon arrival, all students whose native language is not English are given a test to assess their fluency for placement into the ESL Program. ESL students are tested each year and placed in the appropriate level until they test out of ESL and can take regular courses with native English-speaking students.
