Admissions

Visiting Burke

How to meet us.

We have four main ways to visit Burke during the admissions process. Visiting is not a requirement – just an excellent way to get to explore the school and ask all your questions! 

OPEN HOUSES
Saturday, October 18 and Saturday, November 22
Middle School at 10 AM and High School at 1:30 PM

Small Group Tours
Families tour our campus during the school day

Shadow Visits
Applicants experience actual classes with a current Burke student as their guide

Revisit Events (March 2026)
Admitted students have the opportunity to "revisit"

Note: Families can have their admissions interview in-person at Burke, but we consider that separate from a visit.

How to sign up.

To sign up for an event at Burke, you'll need to create an account in Ravenna, an online admissions platform for independent schools. Once logged in, go to the Directory, click on Edmund Burke School to expand our listing, and then click the "Upcoming Events" button:

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'll be in fall / winter 2025:
