Students specialize in one of five arts subject areas: visual arts, theatre, dance, instrumental music, or vocal music. Each student spends at least 12 hours a week in arts class, often staying after school on Saturdays to rehearse for a performance. Students’ schedules also incorporate a full college preparatory course load, including humanities, mathematics, science, and a foreign language. Throughout the curriculum, a special emphasis is placed on developing writing skills. In their senior year, students embark on a unique capstone experience: writing a grant proposal to fund an independent community outreach arts project, giving something back for the extraordinary educational opportunities they enjoy at Boston
Arts Academy. |
