Tuition & Financial Aid

  • At Edmund Burke School

    15% of our annual budget is dedicated to financial aid.

    Approximately 35% of Burke families receive financial aid annually. Our financial aid program is need-based, not merit-based, and we use a secure 3rd party system to determine financial aid awards. 

    Burke is committed to an inclusive tuition model. That means textbooks and yearbooks, field trips and overnights, travel and team uniforms for sports, iPads and yearbooks, and more are all included in the schedule below:
