Boston Arts Academy (BAA) is Boston’s only public high school for the visual and performing arts, preparing a diverse community of aspiring artist‑scholar‑citizens for success in college, professional careers, and civic life. As a laboratory and beacon for artistic and academic innovation, BAA is committed to inclusion, equity, and excellence in both academic and artistic instruction. BAA is an autonomous school within the BPS that holds Pilot School status.

This allows us autonomy over our schedule, staffing, budget, governance, and curriculum. As a result, we have an Election to Work Agreement (EWA), which outlines the ways in which we leverage our autonomy, with specific attention to additional working days, hours, and other working conditions that fall outside of the BTU agreement. Teachers who choose to work at BAA do so with the understanding that our Election to Work Agreement establishes expectations beyond the standard BTU contract, including additional professional development days, extended learning time, and a commitment to our full inclusion model.

BTU members are required to work an additional 146 hours above the contracted time. That time includes attending two days of professional development before the BTU start day in August, attending 2.5 additional days of professional development in June beyond the contracted days, and attending a weekly hour department meeting outside of the contracted hours.

BPS is a great place for those who seek to work in an environment that supports their creativity and innovation, and respects their skills and abilities as a teacher.
