The school at a glance
The Burlington School is a nonsectarian option serving families from preschool through high school in Burlington. Its published indexed-tuition model is particularly useful for cost-conscious households: each K–12 division has a stated maximum and a lower boundary, with the family's rate determined through a financial assessment. The minimum is not a price every family can choose. The school also accepts Opportunity, but its affordability graphic presents indexed tuition and the scholarship as alternatives, so families should obtain a written explanation of how their award affects the bill. Complete non-tuition fees still need confirmation. Burlington is a strong candidate for broadening a shortlist beyond faith-based schools without relying only on very high sticker prices and speculative aid. Compare the actual contract, required expenses, and renewal expectations before deciding whether the offer remains manageable as the student moves into later grades.
Current published indexed ranges and Opportunity participation offer a credible moderate-price nonsectarian alternative.
