Welcome to Burr and Burton Academy, one of Vermont's premier secondary schools and one of its very first!

Situated at the foot of Mount Equinox and overlooking picturesque Manchester Village, Burr and Burton is a school with a proud tradition. From the moment you walk up the worn marble of the Senior Steps, you realize the legacy, the sense of history, and commitment to excellence that characterize Burr and Burton Academy.

Within the framework of a rigorous academic environment, Burr and Burton is committed to the full development of the individual. We offer a wide range of diverse courses designed to challenge a student's intellectual, technical, or artistic ability. We take pride in the many opportunities we provide for artistic expression, the exercise of leadership skills, and the growth of self-confidence. We provide a wide range of athletic options designed to underscore our lessons on commitment, teamwork, and sportsmanship. We expect our students to get involved, to assume responsibility for their own education, and to contribute positively to their school.

We have a diverse and talented faculty, many of whom have committed the majority of their professional lives to Burr and Burton. Students will quickly discover teachers who go that extra mile, teachers who respect and appreciate individual differences, and teachers who can bring their subject matter to life.

Decisions about school options are among the most important a parent and a student can make and I hope our web site will help you learn more about Burr and Burton. We are always ready to give you a tour of our wonderful campus, introduce you to our faculty members, and help you get to know us. Just call or email our Director of Guidance to make an appointment.
