Pledge to make a difference, together.
Founded in 1908, the Katherine Delmar Burke School (Burke's) is an independent, non-sectarian elementary school. Burke's prepares able, motivated girls for academic challenge, life in community and lifelong love of learning. Burke's celebrates childhood as the best preparation for adulthood, enabling girls to take risks and become confident in who they are. Burke's embraces individual and cultural differences, teaching that each girl can make a difference in her world. The mission of the Katherine Delmar Burke School is to educate, encourage and empower girls. Our emphasis on academic achievement has clear and measurable outcomes. Nearly 90% of recent Burke's graduates earned admission into their first choice high schools.
