West Ada School District has schools that provide alternate and specialized environments to which parents can choose to apply. These schools have processes required to attend outside of regular student registration. Idaho Fine Arts Academy (grades 6-12) is a school of choice with an artistic focus.
General Application Process
To attend one of these schools, applications are required. All applications are online. You are not provided a confirmation email of submittal. The last page on the application is the confirmation. All applications are reviewed and all information submitted is verified. Idaho Fine Arts Academy hosts the audition process in place of lottery draw for placement.
There are two time periods to apply. The on-time application period for IFAA is Nov 7th through Jan 13th. If you missed this time period or would like to apply to another School of Choice, February through November 2024 is the late application period.
IMPORTANT: You can apply to multiple schools. Applicants should be aware they can only be drawn for one lottery. Once an applicant is drawn in a lottery, they are removed from any subsequent lotteries.
The late application period takes place February through November 2024. Through submitting an application in this time period, an application is placed on the late pool list. If and when a seat becomes available, the schools use these lists to fill open seats. No lottery is used for these applications.
