independent day school located on the Boston University campus. BUA is the only high school

in New England that is part of a major research university, offering a distinctive curriculum to

students in grades nine through twelve. BUA provides students with an unparalleled college

preparatory program that combines liberal arts coursework with classes at Boston University.

At BUA, students’ zeal for learning takes them as far as they are capable. Small class sizes and

close relationships with faculty allow students to pursue their passions and nurture their

talents. In eleventh and twelfth grade, students regularly complete up to 12 courses (equivalent

to approximately 48 college credits) from the University’s undergraduate curriculum. BUA

students in good academic and disciplinary standing gain automatic admission to Boston

University. The school’s 186 students come from 62 cities and towns in the Greater Boston

area.

Mission: In our caring high-school community, students who love learning are challenged to think critically and read deeply, and to explore adventurously the wider world of learning at Boston University.
