Edmund Burke School

An independent, progressive, college prep school in Washington, DC. We strive for balance among academic rigor, civic engagement, and student well-being. We're a city school for 6th-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. Our faculty hold students to high expectations, and appreciate them as individual, unique learners.
