B for Burgundy Community Community Burgundy doesn’t just refer to our school or our campuses. Burgundy is a beloved community. The Burgundy Difference Burgundy Difference The Burgundy community is united by its commitment to creating a learning community that affirms children for who they are and where they are developmentally and that helps all our students realize their full potential as students and as people. Giving Giving The Burgundy that our students and families love and enjoy today is the product of a handful of families doing together what none could have done individually: purchasing land, rehabilitating and raising buildings, hiring a professional faculty.
