Talent is evenly distributed, but opportunity is not. For that reason, we look at a student’s passion for the arts, regardless of their experience. When a student submits an application, BAA places emphasis on artistic inclinations and skills, with acceptance determined separate from academic, behavioral, or learning history. Our students share a love of the arts, work and learn together as a community, and reflect the diversity of the city.
