Performing Arts

At BUA, music and drama provide outlets for students to express themselves and — just as importantly — to have fun.  Do you sing?  Play an instrument?  Act? Want to learn?  With a wide variety of course offerings and extracurricular clubs and activities to choose from, there are many opportunities to expend some creative energy at Boston University Academy. Our performing arts program encourages and inspires students at all skill levels to build confidence, improvise, collaborate, and unlock their artistic potential.
