Admission to CCCEPA is by competitive audition and review of student records to ensure success in both the demanding arts disciplines and the challenging academic programs. CCCEPA has a rolling admissions policy. Applications for admission are accepted beginning in November. Audition appointments are scheduled at all Cobb County School District middle schools between November and March each year. Applicants from non-CCSD middle schools, and students wishing to transfer from another high school, audition by appointment on the Pebblebrook/CCCEPA campus. On-campus audition appointments are scheduled after applications are received in the admissions office. CCCEPA accepts transfer applicants through fall of the senior year.
To be eligible to apply/audition, students must:
- Live within the Cobb County School District
- Have a satisfactory academic record
- Have a satisfactory attendance record
- Have a satisfactory disciplinary record
