Boston Adult Technical Academy

Boston Adult Technical Academy (BATA) is an alternative high school for mature, motivated students

aged 19 to 22. Most of our students are English Language Learners (ELLs) from communities of color and immigrant families. We provide a safe, nurturing, student-centered, and culturally sustaining educational experience that enables young adults to intensively acquire the skills needed to complete their high school degrees while positioning themselves as agents for community change invested in their own postsecondary success. We seek to eliminate school-based barriers to success that often limit choice and opportunity. Our work is deeply rooted in social, racial, and economic justice.
