Overview

The Boston Scholar Athlete (BSA) program is committed to improving the academic excellence of students through an improved athletic experience, referred to as Education Based Athletics. Through collaboration with the Boston Public Schools Superintendent's Office, Headmasters, Athletic Department, and Coaches; the BSA is confident that all BPS scholar-athletes are capable of achieving their athletic and academic potentials.

On the athletic level, the BSA serves over 3,000+ scholar-athletes and their coaches. For those students, the mission is to provide the best possible athletic outlet for them through upgraded uniforms and equipment, facilities, and coaching. Teams and individual scholar-athletes perform better in settings and situations that are conducive to a positive athletic experience. BSA is focused on making those situations available for all scholar-athletes.

The BSA recognizes that to guarantee the best possible experience, coaches must also be supported. To facilitate the 150+ coaches and their staffs, the BSA has developed the Boston Scholar Athlete Coaches Academy. The goal of the Academy is to promote "Coaches as Mentors" through a curriculum of free professional development, ranging from coaching development and sport specific tactical training, MIAA and National certifications, to cross-collaboration.  This will ensure not only that the goals of the BSA are being met, but that the coaches and scholar-athletes are given the tools to achieve their goals, as well.
