Sample classes, meet faculty members, and hear from students and parents at Edmund Burke School’s virtual Open House on December 11. To supplement the Open House, prospective families may sign up for in-person tours (but please note that tours are now full through 2021).
Founded in 1968 in Washington, D.C., Burke is an independent, progressive school for 300 students in 6th-12th grade. Burke has a 6:1 student-teacher ratio and draws students from 60 zip codes, including all eight wards of D.C.
In Burke’s classrooms, teachers have the time and space to connect with each individual student and understand how they learn best. In turn, students have the freedom to try new things, pursue longtime passions and delve into projects that spark their curiosity.
The school’s “no cut” policy ensures that students can participate in athletics and the arts, even without prior experience.
The Open House takes place from 10 a.m.-12:15 p.m. for grades 6 to 8 and from 1-3:30 p.m. for grades 9-12. Register to begin the admissions process or to learn more.
Edmund Burke School is located at 4101 Connecticut Avenue, NW. Call 202-375-7670 or email at [email protected]. Burke currently offers a morning bus route from Suitland, MD, and Capitol Hill, D.C.
