Boston Arts Academy Boston's ONLY public high school for the visual and performing arts! Our graduates exemplify the transformational power of the arts.

Boston Arts Academy (BAA) is celebrating 24 years of educating the next generation of artists, scholars, and citizens! BAA is the city’s only public high school for the visual and performing arts serving 480 students that reflect the diversity of Boston’s neighborhoods. Through its innovative curriculum, BAA nurtures the collaborative and creative skills needed to respond to the challenges of the 21st Century. Educators, policy-makers, corporate leaders, and activists from around the world come to BAA because they see our consistent success with urban teens. For six straight years, 97% of each graduating class has been accepted to college. We continue to refine, innovate, partner, and share because we believe that the solutions for many lie within the arts.
