[quote=Anonymous]Overall we like Burke very much.  We actually prefer it to Big 3.  Yes, Big 3 was an option for us.  Burke is a very warm and friendly place with diverse students and attentive teachers.  It's less intense academically and socially than Big 3.

I don't know whether Burke is going to offer any distance learning options, but I'm sure the admissions staff will be happy to answer your questions.  Over the past year, Burke did a pretty good job.  Satisfying all Burke parents was not an attainable goal since some parents wanted to go back to in-person learning asap while others pretty much never want to go back until the pandemic ends.  My impression is that Burke was a little slower about going back than most other DC area private schools.

Burke put a lot of thought into how to do distance learning.  Many year-long courses ended up being taught in a single semester, with students taking a reduced course load to make up for the fact that the amount of nightly homework was double what it normally would have been.  My kid remained engaged throughout the year but was much happier when in-person learning resumed.
