[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, both my kids recently graduated from Burgundy. It is far from perfect (we thought the lower school was stronger and more even than the middle school), but overall it was a very nurturing place and the kids have a lot of independence. We loved the fact that it gently pushes all kids to perform and speak in public. I was recently back for the alumni panel (where grads speak to current 8th graders about their high school experiences) and multiple alums spoke about how well they felt Burgundy had prepared them to speak publicly, self-advocate and communicate well with adults.

I have had various complaints about Burgundy middle school in the past but the new MS head is getting rave reviews from families I know who still have kids there.

Browne.... meh. Honestly if you have any interest in a progressive school, it is not the place for your child.

Also: Burgundy was the first integrated school in Virginia! Just saying.[/quote]

So what? That was decades ago. The school lacks diversity today. There is a skew towards white, progressive, elites. [/quote]

Burgundy is 39% students of color. [/quote]
