Any special application processes: All students are required to take the ISEE exam prior to entry. The exam is offered in the 6 th and 8 th grade to all eligible students. What makes your school unique? The students of Boston Latin Academy, their families, and the faculty share a commitment of excellence. Our curriculum, while rooted in the study of the classics, liberal arts, and fine arts, has been developed to ensure that all students are well prepared for success in college and life. Students are encouraged to appreciate the ideas and practices expressed in the classics and to recognize the evolving continuum between them and the complex, ever-changing challenges of society. While appreciating the classics, we also use data-based research to inform and re-imagine our curriculum as we strive to make it match our 21st century student base of engaged learners. We seek to challenge our students with a rigorous curriculum while, at the same time, providing them with the scaffolds to succeed. Throughout, we value giving back to the rich and diverse communities of Boston from which our students come. Special opportunities for students (internships, etc.): Boston Latin Academy offers a myriad of opportunities for the college bound student and all of our students go on to college. We have many Honors and Advanced Placement courses across all disciplines. In addition to a classics based curriculum, BLA offers music, art and a theater arts program. We have an exemplary peer tutoring program for all subjects. BLA also has many on-site jobs, summer programs, community service opportunities, and college fairs that provide opportunities for our students to be active outside the classroom.
