As a close-knit community of
315 students and
60 faculty, Burke ensures that each individual (and their family) is known and engaged.
Students have space to try new things – from a brand-new sport to a challenging new instrument or artistic discipline.
You won't have to compete for a spot just to do what you enjoy.
While not sprawling or colossal, our campus is a great size for us! The buildings are
full of light and personality and provide quick
access to the entire city – so you will often
find classes riding the Metro, sketching at museums, or having science class in Rock Creek Park.
In times of stress or uncertainty, this comparatively small size confers
tremendous value. We can adapt swiftly and creatively to change. We can adjust
our supports and resources as needed.
