Your Bio

Boston Arts Academy
Boston Arts Academy is the city’s first and only public high school for the visual and performing arts. As a pilot school within the Boston Public Schools, BAA prepares a diverse community of aspiring artist-scholars to succeed in their college or professional careers and to become engaged members of a democratic society.
BAA was founded on the belief that arts and academics are equally important to a student’s development. The arts are integrated throughout the academic curriculum. The arts are used as a vehicle to motivate students with a variety of learning styles to succeed in high school and to pursue higher education. The goal of the BAA curriculum is not necessarily to produce professional artists, but rather to give each student the opportunity to learn, create, and discover his or her own unique talents. This year, over 96% of our graduates will attend college..

Deborah Webster Greeley Room Dedication 2008 :  On March 7, friends and family of the late Deborah Webster Greeley came together for the joyous dedication of BAA’s  Student Support Office in Deborah’s name, and in tribute to her lifetime of work with youth and families.  
The Student Support Office is an integral part of BAA life, providing counseling and wellness care in a variety of areas. Over $100,000 a year must be privately raised to support these vital services.  Boston Arts Academy is deeply grateful to Susan Foley Larson and the trustees of the Dana McLean Greeley Foundation for Peace and Justice for a generous grant in support of this work.
