Educational Philosophy

The philosophy of the Administration and Board of Education is to provide a program of studies at Burlington High School designed to enhance the general education of all students and to prepare them for a useful place in society.  If advanced education is the student’s goal, this program prepares them to meet the entry standards of the majority of colleges, universities, and trade schools of America.  Assistance is available through the administrative and guidance office to insure a program where postgraduate objectives are met.  The school curriculum and staff will assist every student in:

1. Acquiring basic skills in obtaining information, solving problems, thinking critically, and communicating effectively.
2. Acquiring basic information covering the principles of mathematics, physical, biological, environmental, and social sciences, the historical record of human achievements and failures, and current social issues.
3. Acquiring the capacities for fulfilling satisfying and responsible roles in family life and society, including social customs, manners, morals, ethics, and integrity.
4. Acquiring the knowledge, habits, and attitudes that promote personal and public health in physical, mental, and emotional maturity.
5. Acquiring the ability and the desire to express themselves creatively in one or more of the arts, and to appreciate the aesthetic expressions of other people.
