This summer, BAA is offering three distinct arts summer programs for teens between the ages of 12-18. Students can choose from Dance, Film, or STEAM. At BAA, students can explore the creative power of the arts, develop their artistic skills, and learn from professional art educators.
Our summer programs provide special opportunities for teens to explore their creative interests and take their art to the next level. Through hands-on learning, creative problem-solving, and collaboration, students can discover the power of the arts and how they can be used to make a difference in their lives and the world.
For more than a decade, BAA has been a leader in the field of arts education. Our graduates exemplify the transformational power of the arts and are known for their collaborative, creative, and culturally empathetic characteristics. We believe that the solutions for many of our world's challenges lie within the arts, and so we strive to refine, innovate, partner, and share our model of arts education. This summer, we invite teens to explore the creative power of the arts and discover the power of their own potential.
Now in it’s STEAM Roversecond year, The Summer at BAA STEAM Program offers a cross-disciplinary experience for students ages 12-18, where students can investigate, create, and prototype a future world. Led by Boston Arts Academy’s STEAM Lab Director Dr. Nettrice Gaskins, the unique and multifaceted program provides a dedicated space for hands-on projects — coding, 3D printing, laser cutting, computer-aided design and wearable technology — as part of an 8-day STEAM workshop. No experience is necessary and all students will participate in a final showcase of their work, presented at Boston Arts Academy.

Summer Film at BAA
Summer Film at BAA offers an immersive exploratory experience for students ages 12-18, that takes them through the entire filmmaking process. The goal of this program is to enlighten, enhance, inform, communicate, entertain and celebrate our cultures through film. Now in it’s second year, Artistic Director John ADEkoje’s program emphasizes the whole student: creativity, technique, mindfulness, and curiosity. Over the course of two weeks, each student creates their own film by designing, shooting and editing their personal artistic work. All projects will be shown at a film festival at Boston Arts Academy.
