[quote=Anonymous]Our son goes to Burke and it’s been an amazing experience for him. He loves it there. There are no grades until 8th grade, so I wouldn’t call the academics rigorous in middle school. The writing instruction exceeded what my oldest got at Deal and probably the math instruction wasn’t as good.  But, my oldest is more of a math kid, so that could explain the difference too. The school is tiny and my son loves that.  He has close relationships with his teachers, who seem really invested in their students, and he’s made a great group of friends and is incredibly happy at the school.  He also especially loves the arts program and has found that the performing arts classes have brought out a whole new side of him that none of us could have expected.  But, it’s not really for everyone. The sports teams can struggle because they don’t cut anyone. It can be hard socially if you can’t find people you really like. It’s not full of kids/families that are striving as hard as some do at the better regraded privates. [/quote]
