To prepare all of our students to thrive in an increasingly global community, Burke's is dedicated to building and sustaining a diverse and inclusive community with a strong and comprehensive multicultural curriculum. We believe diversity is essential for educational excellence. We strive to create a community in which learning from and with others who bring different backgrounds and lived experiences to our campus, and building critical thinking skills by considering information from a variety of perspectives, are the cornerstones for academic success. We emphasize the value of both similarities and differences as central for helping our girls grow beyond their natural tendencies toward conformity, underscoring our conviction that there are “400 ways to be a Burke’s Girl.”
