[quote=Anonymous]Parent of an upperclassman who started in 6th. You don't say which grade your kid is in (which is fine) but I do think 6th grade has a different workload than 8th. I also think the school has been very intentionally focused on the social-emotional aspect of getting kids back from covid so across all years there has been a tempering of expectations.

My kid has had a rigorous experience, particularly in the humanities and science. (This kid is less of a math kid so I can't speak to that). We have a child at another private school in the area as well. Burke workload always seems more nuanced and carefully chosen compared to the other school which sometimes seems to assign work for work sake.

FWIW, I think the other aspects of the program (leadership training, hands on learning, field trips) have been a differentiator for the Burke program as well. I feel like my kid is really thriving and reaching their potential in a way that I had hoped but was by no means a sure thing.
