What sets us apart?
List of 3 items.
Authentic Relationships
Burke teachers love our kids. Ask any of them and they’ll tell you that’s why they choose to contribute their talents at Burke. They enjoy the challenge of managing, and celebrating, a classroom full of complicated and fascinating young adults.
Collaboration
Teachers have the autonomy to design curriculum, drawing on the most effective practices and methodologies. Our teachers actively seek out collaborations with their colleagues, learning from each other and co-creating interdisciplinary units that enhance students' ability to work across disciplines.
Professional Development
We make it easy for teachers to attend conferences and workshops that help them hone their skills and run a comprehensive in-service program every year. Amid the pandemic, Burke partnered with Global Online Academy to provide professional development around creating courses and building strong relationships in a virtual space.
Combustion Engine Grants 2024-25
Each summer, Burke's Professional Development Committee awards Combustion Engine Grants, which enable faculty to enrich teaching and curricula in innovative ways during the summer months. Before the recent winter break, the Summer 2024 grant recipients presented on their work.
