At Edmund Burke School, we strive for balance among academic rigor, civic engagement and student well-being. We’re a city school for sixth through 12th grade, drawing upon the vast resources of our nation’s capital and bringing together students who are different from one another in many ways.
Burke students are diverse, kind, creative and witty—with a penchant for exploration. Our focus on access (and “no cut” policy) means they can pick up a new instrument, try out a new sport and delve into robotics or creative writing throughout their school years. Students can pursue subjects at a high level—from microbiology research to Spanish literature—while having space to explore new interests and time to enjoy their school years. Our faculty holds students to high expectations and appreciates them as individual, unique learners. Burke builds civic engagement programs into the school day, rather than requiring outside service hours, keeping students attuned to the broader world and how they might make positive change within it.
