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 doesn’t just refer to our school or our campuses. Burgundy is a beloved community.
The 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.

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.

How was your week? These four day weeks in my experience can be some of the more challenging – payback for a day off? But what a nice week we’ve had, including a gorgeous Thursday and Friday, which included a terrific Lower School ‘Small School Meeting’ and the matinee premier of our 7th grade drama production of Treasure Island. All of this as we continue to hear dire news about the state of mental health in America, particularly among children. And while Burgundy generally is a refuge from so many problems of the world, we are not immune. So thanks for taking time to read a longer-than-usual reflection, when you can!
