Competing with Purpose

Students, at the middle and high school level, are empowered to develop teamwork, leadership, and resilience through the school's diverse sports programs. Guided by dedicated coaches, students grow on and off the field, building skills and character for life.

The Arts Front and Center

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. 

Bridging Cultures, Building Leaders

At Burroughs, we nurture global perspectives through a rigorous curriculum, immersive travel, and a commitment to service and sustainability—preparing students to think critically, act responsibly, and lead in an interconnected world.

Community Engagement

Students, faculty and staff are inspired to make a difference through the school’s strong focus on community engagement. Through service projects and collaborative initiatives, students connect with others, develop empathy, and contribute to positive change both locally and globally.

Drey Land

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.
