ABOUT THE BALTIMORE SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS
Founded in 1979, Baltimore School for the Arts (BSA) provides pre-professional arts training and a rigorous college-prep curriculum to Baltimore-area students. It is "Where the Arts Change Kids Lives." BSA seeks to prepare the next generation of the creative workforce by providing cutting-edge arts and academic training to 430+ high school students. The school also provides after-school arts instruction to 600+ Baltimore City students in the 2nd-8th grade through its TWIGS program and serves the greater community through its community outreach programs. A Baltimore arts institution, BSA is a dynamic environment where students pursue their artistic passions in the disciplines of dance, film and visual storytelling, music, stage design and production, theater, and the visual arts while receiving a rigorous academic education.

BSA is part of the Baltimore City Public School System, though it has been granted certain autonomies, including a student admissions process that relies upon auditions in artistic disciplines. BSA alumni can be seen on Broadway and television, in films, in major galleries, and in dance companies around the world. Others can be found analyzing stocks on Wall Street, working in well-respected hospitals, running their own start-ups, and leading local social and civic organizations driving change in the Baltimore community.
