The East Burke School is a community that fosters learning as a natural process of satisfying human curiosity. It is a place for anyone who has the desire to make sense of the world within and around us. Through the development of intellectual skills and emotional maturity, and through the acquisition of knowledge, we strive for respectful and responsible citizenship in our local, regional and global environment.

    Our school is a place where students, parents and teachers model the intellectual, emotional, physical and social attributes of a purposeful and fulfilling life. In our small, flexible and student centered school, we encourage students to establish comfortable and productive relationships with peers and with teachers. We are convinced that in a small school, students are more able to see themselves as participants in the learning process. They develop the belief that their personal interests and aspirations are important, and that their school is there to help them make sense of the world around them.
