Burroughs is the only school in Missouri’s six classes that had both its girls and boys basketball teams advance to the final four in the 2023-24 season. Both teams made it to the championship game — the girls placed first and the boys placed second making it a milestone year for the Burroughs basketball program.
The school's 40-acre wilderness camp in the Ozarks hosts the seventh grade orientation in the fall, as well as a science field study program for 9th graders in the spring. Many outdoor education programs also take place at Drey Land.
Through both coursework and performance, our Performing Arts Department introduces students to a wide variety of genre, from satire to Shakespeare, from small troupe to a full ensemble with chorus and orchestra.
Each October, 8th graders volunteer with a variety of local organizations as part of their class-wide Community Engagement Week.
All of our students participate in some aspect of our arts program: drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, photography—from the introductory level to intensive studies.
