High quality and high commitment faculty and administrative teams. Smaller classroom sizes. Strong and aspirational culture. Good tech to support student organizational skills development, and also communication between teachers and parents. Less competitive in some athletic programs.

Burke changed my life. It gave me the confidence and support I needed as a young person to succeed in life, and I would highly recommend the school to prospective families. Just make sure to apply for scholarship, because that price tag keeps going up.
