About Del Sol Academy

Del Sol combines a comprehensive high school with a Performing & Creative Arts magnet program. It is a magnet within a school, not a campus where every student is selected through a lottery.

Arts offerings have historically included music, dance and cultural dance, theatre, technical theatre, costume and production support, and cinematic or visual arts. Major names and availability can change each year.

Campus-wide offerings typically include core academics, NIAA athletics, clubs and non-magnet career and technical education. Families should confirm current programs with the school and counseling office.

How families get in

Students attend through their assigned residential zone or apply for a performing-arts magnet seat through the district School Choice process.

For a zoned comprehensive seat, confirm the home address through CCSD zoning and complete standard district enrollment.
For a magnet seat, apply through the CCSD magnet site and complete the audition or materials process for the chosen major.
Applicants who complete the required audition process enter the district lottery for available magnet seats.
Zoned Del Sol students may also apply to magnet majors on the campus.
Some arts programs may consider certain upper-grade applicants, but eligible grades must be confirmed on the current magnet site.

Confirm before applying

Arts majors, application windows and audition requirements can change.
Do not rely on old flyers or social media dates.
Magnet transportation follows district transportation-zone rules and is not guaranteed for every address.

Use the current CCSD magnet and zoning pages for official rules, deadlines, audition instructions and transportation information.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

A student is serious about a performing or creative-arts major and can prepare an audition.
The family wants arts magnet programming alongside comprehensive-school athletics, electives and career and technical education.
The student lives in the Del Sol zone or the family is willing to apply through School Choice.

Think twice when

The student wants a full-magnet arts conservatory setting.
The family needs a guaranteed out-of-zone seat without an audition or School Choice.
Audition preparation and performance commitments would interfere with other family priorities.

Program lists, audition rules, transportation and zoning can change. Confirm current details on official school and CCSD pages.
