Admissions Policy
PiM Arts High School is a public school and pursuant to state law, must enroll an eligible student who submits a timely application, unless the number of applications exceeds the capacity of the program, class, grade level, or building. If this occurs, students will be accepted through a lottery process.
The lottery enrollment period for the 2026-2027 school year is open from September 2, 2025 through January 5th, 2026. If necessary, the lottery will run on January 7, 2026. Students enrolling for any grade that exceeds capacity will be placed in a lottery with priority given to enrolled siblings and children of staff members.
If running a lottery is deemed unnecessary, all families will be contacted via email and students will be enrolled on Friday, January 9, 2026.
Any student who enrolls after the lottery period will be added to the program on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you are submitting enrollment for more than one student (i.e. siblings), please fill out the form completely for each student.

PiM Arts High School shall not seek any information about any applicant that may be used to discriminate against the applicant in either the school’s policies or governing laws. This does not preclude the school from seeking such information about a student for a lawful purpose after the school admits the student.
Information regarding an individual’s program preference/s shall not be used as part of a student’s admission determination.
