You Are: Valued
As a learner. As a friend. As an individual. As an amazing, distinctive, and irreplaceable addition to our community.
Every day, students and faculty bring so much to our campus: their individuality; their effort; their expertise.
So be the you that you want to be. We’ll love you for it.

You
All “Burkies.” All Invaluable.
Diversity
We live our mission together. Burke unites people who are diverse in the truest sense of the word—race, ethnicity, learning style, identity, socioeconomics, and family structure. The individuals in our community understand and appreciate that our backgrounds affect our perspectives, and so sharing our experiences in open discussion is always welcome.
Exceptional Faculty
We ask a lot of our teachers. They make the effort to understand you fully—your past experiences, your challenges, and your hopes and dreams. They craft their lessons in ways that you’ll understand. And they do it all because they support Burke’s mission to help you become your best you.
Burke, Assemble!
Schoolwide assemblies occur weekly, and like all things at Burke, they’re never boring. That’s because the students run the show. They perform songs that stir the whole school to clap in unison. They welcome and interview guest speakers. And they lead discussions on difficult domestic and global issues that require our attention.
“Burke encourages a community built on relationships and trust and places our students at the center. It’s a place where everyone is encouraged and expected to bring their whole selves to school every day.”
Brandy, Burke Teacher
