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

Small Group Tours
Families tour our campus during the school day, including during spring 2026

FALL OPEN HOUSES
10 AM - Middle School • 1:30 PM - High School
on Saturday, October 17, 2026
and Saturday, November 21, 2026

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"

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, search for Edmund Burke School, and click "Learn more and apply." On our page, scroll down to "Upcoming Events" and click the event name 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 fall / winter 2025:
