Boston Community Leadership Academy's mission is to develop the capacity for leadership in all students empowering them to make positive contributions to our communities.

To fully develop this capacity, we in the BCLA community believe that students must achieve academic excellence and cultivate strong leadership principles.

Our rigorous curriculum, innovative instruction, authentic assessment, extra-curricular activities, and system for social and emotional support help BCLA students develop scholarly attitudes, habits, and skills necessary to succeed in college, to lead fulfilled lives, and to participate in our diverse and complex democracy.
