The College Counseling team works collaboratively with students and families throughout the process. Although they do not begin meeting formally with students until 11th grade, they provide information through sessions with parents and at grade meetings with students.
Starting in 11th grade, we collaboratively develop a college plan tailored to each student's needs, interests, and goals. We are proud of the range of colleges that our students attend, with our 56 members of the Class of 2020 matriculating at 44 different schools.

Between them, our Dean and Associate Dean of College Counseling have more than 30 years in the field and relationships with a wide network of colleges. We also provide direct access to college admissions officers on campus. In Fall 2019, Burke hosted representatives from 150 different schools who meet with our students in small groups.
Burke also hosts a summer College Application Workshop for rising seniors, providing support with essay-writing and practice interviewing with real admissions officers.
