15% of our annual budget is dedicated to Financial Aid
At Burke, we follow a need-blind admissions process – meaning that we do not consider applicants' financial circumstances when making admissions decisions. Our financial aid program is also need-based, and not merit-based.
Our mission directs us to bring together students who are different from one another in many ways. To that end, we strive to be an affordable independent school choice for as many families as possible.
Our families represent a broad range of financial situations, and we want to discuss what might make Burke affordable for you. Please don't hesitate to be in touch.
Our financial aid program supports student participation in all school-sponsored academic, athletic and social activities, ensuring that every facet of school life is open to every student.
Enables high-ability middle and high school students with financial need to realize their full academic potential, including through comprehensive financial support.
In 1973, Edmund Burke School moved from Wyoming Avenue to our current home on Upton Street; the following year, Burke added a Middle School. Since then, Burke has offered a Middle and High School program on a single campus in Washington, DC.
