Mission Statement
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.
Educational Philosophy
The Burlington School is an independent, nonsectarian, coeducational school which seeks to maintain a relaxed, small-school atmosphere in which each student can develop individually in an academically challenging, safe and secure learning environment. Developing habits of the heart and mind which include mutual respect, integrity and positive relationships form the cornerstone of the School’s program. Recognizing that education is a lifelong process involving the total person, we believe that our duty is to help prepare each student to become an independent, creative and critical thinker by providing a variety of experiences for achieving success. To this end our students pursue opportunities in the arts, athletics, community service and leadership within a traditionally structured academic environment.

IRA Charitable Rollover
The IRA Charitable Rollover provision allows individuals who have reached age 70½ to donate up to $111,000 per year to charitable organizations directly from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA). These gifts, known as Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), are excluded from taxable income and can satisfy all or part of a donor's Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year. For married couples, each spouse may donate up to this annual limit from their respective IRAs for a combined total of $222,000.
Endowment
Our endowment fund can be compared to a long-term investment or savings plan. It is a “permanent” fund in which the principal is invested and the earnings are spent. A strong endowment allows us to always be prepared for what's ahead. If you would like to invest in the future of our school by way of the endowment, please contact the Development Office at
philanthropy@theburlingtonschool.org or by making an online gift at
Alamance Community Foundation's donation portal.
