<p>As a BUA parent, I’ll make some comments…
BUA is strongest in math and science, but no slouch for the liberal arts. Students interested in the classics, in particular, will find a great deal to like - they can start taking university Greek/Latin upper level classes as juniors. The strong foundation in the Western Canon from the first two years, gives kids a really solid base as well. Our kids all do a big senior thesis - and the math/science works account for only about 1/3 of of the topics.
Model UN and Theatre are very strong clubs as well.
Nerdly is a fun club - kids of all grades and all interests show up there.
There is a lot of support for kids, but the academic load is pretty intense. Everybody gets through a year of calculus, everybody does two years of Latin or Greek.</p>
