Welcome to the Middle School! Burgundy’s Middle School has a strong feeling of community, high levels of academic engagement, and effectively prepares students for success and leadership in high school and beyond. Honoring each individual as a unique learner, experienced Middle School educators take students on a journey from high organizational support as an incoming sixth grader to greater independence and self-knowledge as a graduating eighth grader. The Middle School experience is a balance of content knowledge and skills that foster motivation, resourcefulness, goal setting, and worldly perspective-taking. 

Throughout the Middle School journey, experiential learning beyond the classroom is a regular part of our program. Whether studying the historical artifacts in Alexandria, using our on-campus pond for water studies, or exploring nature and sustainability at our West Virginia campus, we understand that students learn best when experiences are based in real-world application. 

Ultimately, our goal is for Burgundy graduates to feel empowered to make positive contributions to their communities and to continue down a path of lifelong learning.

I invite you to visit us to better understand what makes the Middle School journey at Burgundy so special.
