John Burroughs School, an independent, college preparatory day school, provides a liberal arts education that balances academics, athletics, art and activities. The Burroughs experience is distinguished by objectives set by our founders in 1923 including a mix of informality, community service and traditions such as morning assembly and family-style lunch which bring us together daily. Our world-class faculty average more than 20 years teaching experience and 80 percent hold advanced degrees.
