The BA Way

The BA Way

Our lockers don't lock.

We are serious about integrity, so we keep an “open locker” policy campus-wide, encouraging our students to be trustworthy and respectful of others.

The BA Way

Our students clean their own school

Students at BA don’t just learn about personal responsibility in theory. They practice it daily, which includes participating in campus-wide clean-up at the same time every day.

The BA Way

We honor BA values 24/7

Our students commit to a standard of high moral character, and they are expected to uphold these values 24/7, whether they’re on campus or not.
