Our Mission

Boston Day and Evening Academy (BDEA), a unique, innovative, year-round alternative public high school, serves students who are over-age for grade level and who are either at high risk for dropping out or have already dropped out of high school and are returning to earn a BPS diploma. Working with experienced faculty in an environment that blends strong academics and wrap-around supports, BDEA gives students the tools to reach their fullest potential through a competency-based curriculum, and to inspire critical and creative thinking, independent learning, and active citizenship.
