Edmund Burke School is an independent college preparatory school in Washington, D.C. Located on Connecticut Avenue NW, two blocks from the Van Ness - UDC metro station, Burke enrolls approximately 315 students in Grades 6–12.[1]
Founded in 1968 by Jean Mooskin and Dick Roth,[2] the school practices progressive education: classes and advisory groups are small, teachers go by their first names, and students are given significant independence.
The school was named for 18th century British parliamentarian and philosopher Edmund Burke. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing," a quote often attributed to Burke, serves as a source of inspiration.[3]
