Visit Opportunities
It is important for students and their families to find a school that is the right fit for them. With this in mind, we want to provide you with opportunities to see Burr and Burton in action and learn more about the wide array of engaging learning opportunities and co-curricular activities that Burr and Burton offers.
Our visit opportunities include:
- Campus tours and enrollment conversations for prospective families
- Shadow days for students in 8th grade or higher
- Prospective Parent and Guardian Information Sessions
In addition to visits for prospective students and families, we also host focused sessions for those intending to enroll at BBA. These events include course registration meetings for students not attending a sending school, math placement testing, and world language placement testing.
Please see below for a bit of information about each visit opportunity.
Shadow Days
Offered September - May
Shadow days for students in the 8th grade or higher are wonderful ways for students to get a feel for what life is like on an everyday basis as a Bulldog. Prospective students can choose to shadow a student they may already know, or the enrollment team will carefully match a prospective student with a current Bulldog volunteer based on interests expressed in the Shadow Request Form. Visits are offered on select dates throughout the semester.
Please complete the form on the right to request a Shadow Visit.
Campus Tours and Enrollment Conversations
Year-round
Families who are relocating or considering a relocation to the area, or those who have students younger than eighth grade, we welcome you to join us for a campus tour and conversation with a member of the enrollment team.
Please use the visit request form on the right.
Prospective Parent and Guardian Events
February and March 2027
Parents and guardians who are registering a new student to attend Burr and Burton Academy for the 2027-2028 school year are encouraged to attend one of these meetings. Specifically, these events are intended for parents and guardians of students who are matriculating from eighth grade or transferring from a different school.
During the events, we will review:
- Academic and extra-curricular opportunities at BBA
- The BBA Success Program
- Registering a student to attend BBA
- Arts & Athletic Programming
- Filing residency and tuition documents
- High-level course schedules, programs, and orientation information
- Completing required school forms
Each meeting session will run from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Registration will open in October.
Course Scheduling Related Sessions
Students who currently attend Equinox Valley Middle School, Flood Brook School, or Maple Street School will meet with members of the BBA staff to review course scheduling and course selection. Students who do not attend one of those schools are invited to attend one of our course scheduling meetings. Scheduling meetings will occur in April and May the year before a student's enrollment. Dates for those events will be listed in January 2027.
