The Burlington School

The Burlington School is the premier Preschool 3 through 12th grade, independent school in Alamance County and offers programs in academics, athletics and the arts. Rigorous academics, individual attention and a vibrant learning community make TBS one of the best college preparatory schools in the North Carolina Triad area.

Serving less than 300 students from preschool through 12th grade, The Burlington School is a community where our scholars are inspired by distinguished faculty while being offered opportunities to discover academic strengths, build a solid foundation in character and become growth-minded individuals destined for leadership. The Burlington School discovers in each child personal integrity, intellectual curiosity and social responsibility, builds excellence in academics, arts, and athletics, and helps each student become confident and uniquely successful in school and in life.

Recognizing that education is a life-long process involving the total person, we believe that our duty is to help prepare each student to become an independent, creative and critical thinker by providing a variety of experiences for achieving success. To this end our students pursue opportunities in the arts, athletics, community service and leadership within a traditionally structured academic environment.
