Admissions

SYA students come from all walks of life and from every corner of the country. Our students are academic all-stars and theater kids. They are athletes and artists. They are scientists and authors. They play music and do multi-variable calculus. What they all have in common is an insatiable curiosity and a willingness to go outside of their comfort zone. If you're excited about the idea of jumping into a new adventure and embarking on a journey unlike any other then, rest assured, you'll fit right in.
