Admission Requirements

Give us a call or shoot us an email to schedule a time to speak with us in depth about our school so we can determine together if The Creative Circus looks like the best fit for you given your goals and interests. We can offer you all the information you need on our programs, financial aid options, housing, career placement services, and Atlanta city life. Interviews can be conducted in person (you gotta see this place!) or by phone if you’re not local.
