The Burkard School is a K-8 school like no other in the Bay Area. We start with a small class size no more than ten students and dedicate both a highly-trained educator and a behavior specialist to each class.
This formula allows us to address the individual education of each student with expertise and precision.
The behavior specialists target social-emotional learning, self-regulation, and executive functioning and create an environment where the child is focused, regulated, and ready to learn.
This in turn allows the educators to teach effectively and ensure that each student reaches her academic potential.
A small independent K-8 school for bright children who need
extra support with self-regulation, executive functioning, and/or
social-emotional learning in the classroom.
Many children can benet from the supportive structure of The
Burkard School. A child with ADHD, anxiety, sensory processing
disorder, high-functioning Asperger`s or autism, or other
underlying challenges that makes it difficult to conform to a
traditional classroom setting can ourish in our environment. A
diagnosis is not necessary for admission. With our level of
support, our students are able to be engaged, on-task, and
regulated the majority of the school day. That support includes: a
small classroom size of no more than 10 students per classroom, a
behavior specialist dedicated to each classroom, and explicit
social-emotional learning instruction every day. It does not
include psychological or occupational therapies. The Burkard School
offers rigorous academics and accepts students who are capable of
working at or above grade level. However, we understand that your
child`s maladaptive behavior in the previous classroom settings
might have prevented them from accessing their full education. It
is not uncommon for our students to come to us having missed
significant instructional time and as a result have some gaps in
their grade-level content knowledge. We meet your child where they
are academically in order to unlock their learning potential.
Please note, however, that The Burkard School does not have
learning specialists on staff, and so we cannot support students
demonstrating significant learning differences.
The Burkard School's tuition is approximately $43,500 for private students.
