Burr and Burton seeks international students who are highly motivated to live and learn in the United States. The international program is intentionally small, so admission to the program is very competitive. The small size of Burr and Burton's international program, about 70 students annually, allows teachers and staff to give a great deal of personal attention to international students, and allows international students ample opportunity to improve their English and integrate into the school and community culture.
International students may enroll for one semester, one year, or multiple years.
List of 2 items.
Enrolling for a Semester or a Year:

Enrolling for Multiple Years:
Students who attend for multiple years can graduate from Burr and Burton and go on to college in the US. Burr and Burton provides school and college counseling support throughout the college application process for those international students interested in staying in the US to attend a college or university.
