Admissions

Welcome, New Families!

Cheers - you're headed to Burke in Fall 2025! 

As we tend to be a community of questioners, we imagine you too have many queries and wondering about the coming school year. This page will serve as your main "hub" between now and late June / early July, when you will receive your login for the Student Information System. You will start receiving our newsletter for new students and families, Beginning at Burke, in late March.

Don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions in the meantime. We're excited to see you, and we're here to help 🐯

  • Calculator Recommendation

    The Science Department is recommending the Texas Instruments TI-30XIIS Scientific Calculator for all high school students next year. This will be the only calculator you need for all HS Science classes, from 9th grade ESS to 12th grade AP Physics. We aren't requiring that you purchase it; but if you do, your Science teacher will show you how it functions. We chose it because it really does do everything we need, it is solar so your batteries won't die, and it's cheap!

  • Calendar Note

    YES! You can add the Burke calendar to your personal calendar. Once you have access to SIS, simply navigate to the calendar, click that RSS button in the upper right-hand corner, and select "School Calendars."
