The first step in the admission process is to contact the Admissions Office. The Admissions Office will schedule a visit either during an Open House or during the school week. Most visits take place on Fridays so visiting students can participate in Variety Hour. Weekend visits are only available during Open House times.

Once this initial visit has been completed, families may download an application from our website and begin the admission process by submitting the application with a $200.00 application fee. Once all documents required for the application are submitted, students may be invited to a two day comprehensive campus visit. Once the visit is complete, the applicant will be considered for enrollment.

Berkshire Hills Music Academy has a rolling admission cycle. Students are accepted throughout the year based on availability of space and provided the student meets all admission requirements. Depending on when a student is accepted and enrolled graduation dates may vary.
