“BAA showed me you can make your dreams a reality.”
94% of BAA graduates are accepted to college.
“Without BAA, I don’t know if I would have gone to college.”
“When you walk into BAA, you feel a completely different way of learning.”

Beginning July 1, 2018, during construction of new facilities at 174 Ipswich Street, both Boston Arts Academy and the Boston Arts Academy Foundation will be temporarily relocated.

Boston Arts Academy will be at 11 Charles Street, Dorchester, MA 02122, in Fields Corner.

The Boston Arts Academy Foundation will be at 45 Temple Place, 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02111.

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.
