Collaborative + Personalized College Planning

Between them, our Dean and Associate Dean of College Counseling have more than 35 years experience in the field and extensive professional networks. Each counselor works with approximately 30 students per grade (one of the lowest ratios around) and provides individualized support for every step in the process. Burke also provides direct access to admissions officers on campus, including nearly 100 colleges and universities hosted in fall 2024.
