BAA Foundation is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the mission of Boston’s only public high school for arts through philanthropy. Boston's ONLY public high school for the visual and performing arts! The mission of Boston Arts Academy Foundation is to raise essential funds for Boston Arts Academy, Boston's only public high school for the visual and performing arts. Boston Arts Academy prepares a diverse community of aspiring artist-scholars to be successful in their college and professional careers and to be engaged members of a democratic society. Each year, Boston Arts Academy Foundation must bridge the gap between Boston Public Schools’ funding allocation and the true cost of an arts-intensive and college preparatory education. Our support funds arts programming, health and wellness initiatives, summer reading and math, and college scholarships, ensuring that Boston’s youth have access to an outstanding arts and academic education at no cost to their families.
