Boston Arts Academy is proud to be part of the Perkins Career & Technical Education (CTE) family. Since its inception, BAA has offered CTE programming that provides real-world experiences for students within in-demand industries.

The Design and Visual Communication curriculum is a four-year sequence of courses that begins in the 9th grade and goes through the 12th grade. Students build creative skills, vocabulary, and processes relating to graphic design, illustration, digital and darkroom photography, 3D modeling through architecture and interior design, identity/brand design, motion graphics and 2D animation, web design and the basics of HTML and CSS web development. Students have the opportunity to earn certification in Adobe software products that allow them to design and deliver innovative ideas for print, web, tablets, and smartphones. The program works in partnership with the Massachusetts College of Art & Design and other community partners.

While at BAA I had the privilege of being around and working with passionate artists of all kinds. The environment and energy at BAA helped me develop a mindset which has helped me as a professional.
