This is my second year at Burke Catholic and i love it. Burke has provided me with so many useful tools that i will need in the future.

I have 1 daughter who graduated from Burke in 2008 and another in the class of 2010. Both girls loved the school. I have been pleased with the fullness of their education. Students are not just academically prepared, but civically prepared as well. When we chose parochial education for our children
... Read more 13 years ago, we wanted their studies to be overshadowed by religion in action (grace, prayer, confession, math, do unto others, etc.) It was important to us that our children were reasonably disciplined and learned self-discipline as well. For the most part, Burke teachers supported a 'moral conscience' without judgement. This school was an extention of what we began at home. So often this is lost when we send our children out of our homes to school. Read less

I am a Senior, and I absolutly love Burke. I started as a Freshman, with a public school background. Burke has tons of after-school programs, and if you need tutoring, there are other students or teachers available most of the days. It's worth it.

I am a student at Burke Catholic for the first time this year. I never went to catholic school before, this is a first for me. The first couple of days I didn't like it very much, but now I am totally in love with it. There isn't anything that could possibly make me want to go back to public school.

It's very pricey, but well worth the money. I feel it will help me be the best I can be in the future when I graduate.Go BCHS CLASS OF 2011! Go Eagles! Read less

Both of my sons have graduated from Burke. One is currently in law school, the other will begin a pre-med program at Loyola in September. My experience has been excellent.
