Boston University Academy

At Boston University Academy (BUA), kind
and curious students are challenged to think critically, read deeply, and explore adventurously the wider world of learning at Boston University. BUA’s academic program combines a core high school liberal arts curriculum with college courses at Boston University. BUA students are as kind as they are smart, and their zeal for learning takes them as far as they are capable. Boston University Academy offers students the best of both worlds: small classes and individualized teacher attention, along with the resources of a major urban university. With more than 50 student clubs and 15 sports to choose from, there are more extracurricular opportunities than hours in a day. In 11th and 12th grade, students regularly complete up to 12 courses (equivalent to about 48 college credits) from the university’s undergraduate curriculum. BUA students in good standing are ensured admission at most of Boston University’s 4-year undergrad- uate programs with a financial aid package that meets 100 percent of their calculated need.
