At Edmund Burke School
15% of our annual budget is dedicated to Financial Aid
We follow a need-blind admissions process – so we do not consider applicants' financial circumstances when making admissions decisions. Our financial aid program is also need-based, and not merit-based.
Burke's 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.

Clarity Family Webinars
Each year, Clarity hosts several Application Info Webinars for families. All families who may be applying to any Clarity school are welcome to attend any of these webinars. During the live session, we will go over some key aspects of the application, things to look out for, materials to gather, how to get help, how the tax verification process works, and a robust Q&A. In fact, we have had over 400 families attend a single webinar and we've stayed on to answer over 200 questions in some cases. Typically these will run for about 60 minutes but we will remain live longer if there are lots of questions from parents. Please feel free to share these dates with the parents in your communities and applicant pools. We will make the recordings available to you after each webinar.
Registration links for each date:
Sept 24 - 6:30pm Eastern Time
Sept 25 - 7pm Pacific Time
Oct 28 - 6:30pm Eastern Time
Oct 29 - 7pm Pacific Time
Dec 10 - 5:30pm Pacific Time
