About
About
We believe children learn best in an inclusive, creative, and nurturing environment that engages the whole child. Students here are active partners in their education, and learning is joyful.
Academics
Academics
From its inception, Burgundy has educated children in innovative ways. Our students learn by doing. The school community and its two campuses offer a nurturing atmosphere that inspire creativity through the arts and develop critical thinking skills with an integrated curriculum and hands-on projects.

Burgundy educates children from Junior Kindergarten through grade 8. The admission process begins in the fall prior to the year in which a student enrolls.

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.

Parent Volunteerism
Parent Volunteerism
Burgundy Parents Association
Parent involvement is integral to Burgundy’s ability to carry out its mission. The Burgundy Parents Association (BPA) was established in 2004 and all current Burgundy parents or guardians are members.
The BPA is a strategic partner with Burgundy’s administration in advancing the school’s mission by fostering and coordinating parent/guardian involvement in support of the school. The BPA is not an advocate for parents on curriculum or school policies.
The BPA is coordinated by a steering committee whose primary functions and responsibilities include:
Fostering a sense of community and positive interest in school activities by promoting and coordinating opportunities for parents and guardians to volunteer for the school.
Collaborating with the administration and the Board of Trustees to provide opportunities for parents to learn about the strategic direction of Burgundy, the school’s educational approach and school activities and initiatives.
Volunteers are always welcome. The BPA will reach out to parents directly and via classroom parents for volunteer help throughout the year and encourages parents and guardians to share how they would like to help Burgundy. For more information, please contact a steering committee member.
Current Families, Please Lend a Helping Hand!
Much of what takes place at Burgundy — including special events — happens because of the generosity of parents/guardians who volunteer their time, talent, and treasure. No matter what amount of time you have, please let us know how you would like to get involved. Volunteering strengthens our community as a whole, and each volunteer benefits by meeting other parents, making new friends and feeling more connected to the Burgundy community and their child’s education. We appreciate the time you are willing to share with us.
