Boston university academy clubs

Student clubs
Student clubs are a huge part of the culture at Boston University Academy. Students get to create their own clubs and apply for funding from the school. Most students are part of multiple clubs, with many choosing to lead one as upperclassmen. The clubs at Boston University Academy include:
*Informatics Team, a team that competes in high school programming contests, USACO competitions, and other relevant competitive programming events.
*Model United Nations, a student run club including nearly one-third of the school's student population. BUA's Model UN team was recently ranked in the top 125 high school teams in North America.
*BUAMUN, a middle school Model UN conference run and staffed by Academy students. Each year, BUAMUN creates thousands of dollars in revenue for the school, which is used to fund travel expenses of the BU Academy Model UN team. BUAMUN is a recognized middle-school Model UN conference by Best Delegate, and recently has expanded to host over 300 delegates. A favorite of the BUA community, many students at BUA volunteer to run this conference, showing the immense dedication to support their classmates.
