High School Counseling
The high school process — through which the Burke's mission truly comes to fruition — begins with an informational meeting in the spring of seventh grade and culminates when girls enroll in high school in the spring of eighth grade and parents are invited to a panel presentation by alumnae parents on the transition to high school. Families work in close partnership with Rebecca Wolski, Burke's High School Counselor, to determine the next best place for each of our eighth graders.
Individual "fit" is our goal. We support each member of the eighth-grade class — athlete, artist, gardener, leader, reader, performer, or simply teenager — in understanding who she is as a student and a young woman in order to better understand what she is looking for in a high school.
