Mission Statement

The mission of Burlington Day School is to provide an academically challenging education to college-bound students and to maintain a small school environment where each can develop individually in a climate of respect and understanding.

Philosophy

Burlington Day School is an independent, nonsectarian, coeducational school which seeks to maintain a relaxed small school atmosphere in which each student can develop individually in an academically challenging, safe and secure learning environment. Developing habits of the heart and mind which include mutual respect, integrity and positive relationships form the cornerstone of the school's program.

Recognizing that education is a life-long process involving the total person, we believe that our duty is to help prepare each student to become an independent, creative and critical thinker by providing a variety of experiences for achieving success. To this end our students pursue opportunities in the arts, athletics, community service and leadership within a traditionally structured academic environment.
