Admissions

Welcome to Burr and Burton Academy's Admissions Center.

From its founding in 1829 Burr and Burton has been an independent academy serving as the local high school for area students while attracting students from outside the state for its rigorous educational standards and committed faculty .

Through a unique voucher system, which has been in place for over a hundred years, admission is available free of charge to high-school students who reside in the following eleven sending towns: Manchester, Dorset, Danby, Londonderry, Landgrove, Mt. Tabor, Peru, Stratton, Sunderland, Weston and Winhall. These towns vote every year to approve the school's tuition, which is paid through the state property taxes.

Admission is also open on an annual basis to interested students from towns other than those named above, though the voucher system does not cover their tuition.
Every year Burr and Burton welcomes students from around the world who are interested in spending a semester or a year in an American high school either living with a family or in a small dormitory close to the campus.

We encourage you to call for an information packet and to make an appointment to visit the campus if possible. Please contact Director of Admission and School Counseling Phil Anton at 802.549.8125 or by e-mail panton@burrburton.org.
