<p>BUA (Boston University Academy [Boston</a> University Academy](<a href=“http://www.buacademy.org%5DBoston”>http://www.buacademy.org)) is a very good day school. (I’ll admit my child is there, so you can consider me biased.) It is rather unlike a lot of the traditional day and boarding prep schools. Sports is not big at all. It’s all about academics. The curriculum is tough. Kids start taking university classes as juniors (and somewhat rarely before that).</p>
