The mission of Boston University Academy is to educate talented students who are passionate about learning and who share the joy of inquiry. Engaging with dedicated teachers in a small and caring community, students first immerse themselves in a classically based curriculum and then continue their intellectual interests at Boston University, a major research university. Boston University Academy provides a "ceilingless" educational experience, one in which students' zeal for learning takes them as far as they are capable. Academy students first acquire a broad and coherent foundation before they explore more specialized intellectual interests. Ninth and tenth grade students follow a liberal arts curriculum that includes English, history, science, mathematics, Greek or Latin, the arts, and physical education. In their junior and senior years, students continue to take courses offered by the Academy, and they also begin to take University classes earning as many as forty college credits (or the equivalent of twelve college courses) prior to graduating. Juniors typically enroll in biology and a modern language at the University, while seniors' selections vary widely. Hundreds of course offerings make it possible for students to build upon the liberal arts foundation developed at the Academy.
