Curriculum & special classes

Boston University Academy is an academically rigorous independent day school offering a distinctive curriculum to students in grades nine through twelve. It combines liberal arts coursework with classes at Boston University, allowing 11th and 12th graders to complete up to 12 university courses.

Financial aid

The financial aid program is designed to help make a BUA education accessible to qualified students who otherwise could not afford the cost of attendance, offered in the form of need-based grants that do not need to be repaid. The Financial Aid Committee does its best to meet 100% of a family’s demonstrated need.
