HISTORY The Burlington School is Alamance County’s premier Independent Preschool 3 —12th grade school. The Burlington School is the product of the merged Burlington Day School and The Elon School, effective August 26, 2013. MISSION The Burlington School discovers in each child personal integrity, intellectual curiosity, and social responsibility; builds excellence in academics, arts and athletics; and helps each student become confident and uniquely successful in school and in life. ACCREDITATION The Burlington School is fully accredited with SACS (Southern Association of and Schools) and SAIS (Southern Association of Independent Schools). While not required for our students to be admitted to colleges and universities, accreditation confers upon a school a valuable external affirmation of excellence, especially when obtained from our region’s premier body of accreditation for independent schools. CLASS TRIPS AND EMERSION TERM The Burlington School operates on a trimester system. During the first trimester, students in grades 5-12 participate in week-long Class Trips. These have included trips such as a wilderness experience, explorations in , college tours, or service in Costa Rica. In the third trimester, students participate in a week-long Emersion Term, a co-curricular experiential learning opportunity. Students may travel abroad or domestically to destinations such as Italy, Spain, Austria, , City, or Washington, D.C. Other options include hiking and camping trips to nearby mountain ranges, musical improvisation workshops, Bollywood dancing, or low-budget sci-fi filmmaking.
