Typical Courseload
Non-shaded areas represent graduation requirements, while the shaded boxes represent disciplines in which students can choose elective courses from either the BUA or the University.
- All Boston University Academy courses are honors level and there is no tracking.
- Math and language placement is determined by a placement exam (not by grade level).
- BUA classes meet three times per week: two 60-minute blocks and one 75-minute block, with a 10- or 15-minute passing time in between periods.
- Ninth- and tenth-grade students also have two academic blocks per week; students may use this time as a study hall or to meet with teachers.
