“When you walk into BAA, you feel a completely different way of learning.”

Boston Arts Academy (BAA) is the city’s only public high school for the visual and performing arts, serving more than 450 students who reflect the diversity of Boston’s neighborhoods. We offer pathways to success to urban students who otherwise might not have access to both formal arts training and a college preparatory education.
