Visiting Burke

How to meet us.

We have a few ways to visit Burke during the admissions process. Visiting is not a requirement – just an excellent way to explore the school and ask questions! *Note: Families can have their admissions interview in-person at Burke, but we consider that separate from a visit.

WINTER OPEN HOUSE
Saturday, November 21
Explore Burke at your own pace and meet teachers, students, and parents. Middle school at 10 AM and High School at 1:30 PM.

WEEKDAY VISITS
  • Family Tours: parents and students tour our campus during the school day.
  • Shadow Visits: applicants experience actual classes with a current Burke student as their guide.
  • Revisit Events (March 2027): admitted students have the opportunity to "revisit."

How to sign up.

Meet us on the road.

Our admissions team travels around the greater Washington region during the fall and early winter, and we're happy to connect with you off-campus too. Here's where we've been in the last year:
