Burr & Burton Academy

School Profile

Burr and Burton seeks international students who are highly motivated to live and learn in the United States. The international program is intentionally small, so admission to the program is very competitive. The small size of Burr and Burton's international program, about 70 students annually, allows teachers and staff to give a great deal of personal attention to international students, and allows international students ample opportunity to improve their English and integrate into the school and community culture. Countries represented by international students at Burr and Burton typically include China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Switzerland, Spain, Vietnam, Germany, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, and Mexico.
International students may enroll for one semester, one year, or multiple years. The students who attend for a semester or a year follow a typical academic schedule, perfect their English, and get to know American culture. Students who attend for multiple years can graduate from Burr and Burton and go on to college in the US. Burr and Burton provides school and college counseling support throughout the college application process for those international students interested in staying in the US to attend a college or university.
In order to graduate and receive a Burr and Burton diploma, international students must attend Burr and Burton for a minimum of two years. 28 credits are required for graduation. In addition, all students are required to complete annual service learning projects. International students, like their American peers, take eight courses during the year (four courses each semester).
Burr and Burton's academic school year begins during the last week of August and closes during the second week of June. Students are required to arrive 3-4 days before the start of classes for an orientation. Student housing closes 3 days after the school year ends.
