"Excellence for the Purpose of Service . . ."


Since its founding in 1944 Greater Boston Academy (GBA) has been committed to quality Christian education. In fact, it still has a reputation for high academic quality and Christian standards. The academy, a co-educational day and (originally) boarding school, was first located at 415 Newbury Street in Boston. In 1965 the school moved to Stoneham on the grounds of Boston Regional Medical Center (BRMC). In June 2000 the academy temporarily relocated to the grounds of Edgewood Elementary at 108 Pond Street in Stoneham.

Greater Boston Academy has an innovative curriculum for such a small school. As teachers continually evaluate their courses in terms of the school's goals and the students' needs, classes are refined and focused to offer the students a solid basis for growth. Both Honors and Basic levels of classes are available. Technology is integrated into the class presentations and course requirements. Tutoring and focus work is offered on a daily basis.

Helping students to achieve individual potential is the goal of both our courses and our activities. The activities of the school are designed to fulfill the school's mission in ways complimenting the curriculum. Allowing students an opportunity for involvement in music, dramatic arts, athletics and school organizations provides a variety of areas in which they can succeed. At the same time, they enrich and are enriched by the social interaction. The school also takes advantage of the abundant cultural and educational opportunities afforded by the Boston area.
