Founded in 1998, Boston Arts Academy (BAA) is an autonomous school within the Boston Public Schools that prepares a diverse community of aspiring artists, scholars, and global citizens for success in their college or professional careers as engaged members of a democratic society. As the city’s only full inclusion public high school for the visual and performing arts, BAA offers a competitive arts and college preparatory education that creates unique opportunities for its students. Over the years, BAA has earned recognition as a leader in arts education from prestigious organizations such as the President’s Council on the Arts and Humanities, The GRAMMY Foundation, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and the National Education Policy Center.
As a full inclusion school, students with learning differences are educated alongside their peers. In line with our educational philosophy, BAA’s admissions process (by audition only) does not take into account academic or behavioral challenges as criteria for admission.
Founded in 2009, The Boston Arts Academy Spirituals Ensemble is an award-winning high school choir that performed at Carnegie Hall, the inaugurations of Governor Maura Healey, Mayors Marty Walsh and Michelle Wu, the 60th Anniversary at the JFK Library Presidential Tribute among other events. The group won a Grammy (the Signature Schools Enterprise Award) and have achieved gold status in numerous competitions around the country.
