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. 

Below, you'll find the high school destinations of Burke's graduates for the past five years.
 
Burke's mission is to educate, encourage and empower girls. Our school combines academic excellence with an appreciation for childhood so that students thrive as learners, develop a strong sense of self, contribute to community, and fulfill their potential, now and throughout life.
