Experience ASFA
ASFA offers Alabama students tuition-free, public education with a specialty focus in creative writing, dance, math-science, music, theatre arts, and visual arts.
We highly encourage all prospective students and their families to visit ASFA's campus. Meeting and interacting with students, faculty, and staff will give you a true feeling of the dynamic and welcoming culture of ASFA.
Our in-person opportunities include:
Information Sessions around the state

Open House
Check back for the 2025 date in October or November. Prospective families come to campus and take a tour of the school and learn more about the school and the admission and application process. Meet specialty department chairs, administrators, and current students.
Spend a Day at ASFA/Shadowing
Prospective students are invited to take a deep dive into the life of an ASFA student. You will be paired with an ASFA student host in your department and of a similar grade to you for the day. As you follow their schedule for the day, you will get to go to classes with them while meeting our academic and specialty teachers and lots of ASFA students. You'll get to see what a day at ASFA is like, from the friendly student body to our top-tier teachers to a delicious meal in our cafeteria. Contact Jaronda Little with any questions. Registration is required. Click here to sign up to Spend a Day at ASFA. Shadowing is available from October to April.
