“Burgundy shows you how to be a good person both inside and outside of school.”

“The teachers here are like family and friends – they really want to help you. As a result, you’re more willing to learn from them.”

Burgundy is an independent Junior Kindergarten through 8th Grade school that helps children develop a strong sense of community, self-worth, and intellectual curiosity.

Spring Sports Recap from Jerad

May 30, 2023

Our spring teams have become more competitive; the teamwork throughout the school day and during games is beautiful to see, and the leadership from our 8th graders has been phenomenal.

“With the outbreak of the crisis, Burgundy quickly pivoted to a highly nurturing virtual form of engagement with our daughter [that] continued her scholastic growth, but perhaps more important, continued the sense of community inherent in the Burgundy tradition. The school immediately and continuously engaged us parents, individually and as a community, executing on the values that underpin Burgundy—empathy, community, equality, inclusion, sustainability—that have been a constant and now are even amplified.”

“I wanted to share how very impressed we are with Burgundy’s approach to distance learning. The teachers have been exceptionally accessible, effective, and creative with your instruction. We are continually amazed by their facility with the technology and the reassurance that they provide to our daughter and her classmates. She continues to love learning with her teaching team and is well engaged academically and supported emotionally during the school week. In this time of uncertainty, it is so important for kids to have something that is certain, which is what her teachers have given to her class. We are profoundly grateful for your hard work, positivity, and support.”

“I wanted to say thank you to the middle school faculty and staff for all you are doing for our students. The amount of work you are putting into the virtual learning experience is extraordinary. We are really pleased with how this process is working. You’ve done a wonderful job of making us feel like we are a part of the team.

Our son is engaged in his schoolwork. He works hard each day and is proud when he completes his tasks. It’s been so helpful for him to have the purpose and structure that schoolwork helps to provide. He’s also strengthening his time management skills and self-motivation. We have loved watching him become even more independent in his work, knowing he has a strong school safety net under him.”

Burgundy is a one-of-a-kind independent school for Junior Kindergarten through 8th Grade. We believe children learn best in an inclusive, creative, and nurturing environment that engages the whole child.
