Burke Mountain Academy vs. St. Johnsbury Academy

While Burke Mountain Academy is continually evolving and changing, its core values remain the same unique in its blending of independence and community, athletics and academics, respect for others as well as one's self.

Each of these plays an equally important role in developing a sound mind, healthy body and lively spirit.

The three essential ingredients Burke Mountain Academy believes a student must achieve to face and conquer the many mountains that lie ahead, and, ultimately, fulfill a dream.

St. Johnsbury Academy is a diverse, comprehensive, and independent educational community grounded by our traditions, our deep optimism regarding young people, and our commitment to academic excellence. Our aim is to teach good character by modeling and fostering compassion, respect, responsibility, and integrity; to foster a love for learning by challenging individuals to pursue knowledge, creativity, and intellectual self-reliance; and to encourage each individual to understand his or her relationships, rights, and responsibilities within a community that is itself part of the larger world.
