BSA is recognized as one of the top five public performing arts high schools in the country and as one of the best high schools in America for its rigorous college preparatory program. BSA students have earned National Merit Scholarships, NAACP’s ACT-SO Achievement Medals, and YoungArts Awards, among others.
Our extensive after-school and Saturday program offers free arts classes to Baltimore City children grades 2-8. TWIGS seeks to prepare its students for admission to BSA, and each year between 35-40 percent of the incoming first-year class have been trained through TWIGS.
High school and TWIGS students learn directly from working artists during their classes. And thanks to numerous partnerships with local arts organizations, our students learn from and perform with professionals at the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, The Walters, Center Stage, the Maryland Historical Society, and JHU’s film program, to name just a few.
Baltimore School for the Arts seeks to prepare the next generation of the creative workforce by providing inspiring arts and academic training to high school students as well as opportunities in the arts to younger children and the greater community through its TWIGS and community outreach programs.
We are a public, urban high school that is part of Baltimore City Public School System. Additionally, 33 percent of our support is raised privately through our fundraising partner, the BSA Foundation.
BSA’s iconic Schaefer Ballroom will transform into a cabaret-type setting for this intimate evening of music featuring noted alumni of the Baltimore School for the Arts.

Join us for a night you won’t forget! Tickets are $20.
