Burbrella Early Learning (Preschool–K)
Our play-based program nurtures curious minds through hands-on discovery, creativity, and movement. Rooted in Montessori-inspired independence and guided by the Burbrella way, we meet each child where they are, fostering confidence, kindness, and a lifelong love of learning.
Homeschool Programs and clubs
Burbrella Academy offers a homeschool partnership program for families seeking academic and elective support during the 2025–2026 school year.
Our experienced Guides (teachers) collaborate with parents to provide academic instruction, progress monitoring, and grading, while all enrichment and elective courses are delivered through our partnership with the Superlative Club, which also handles evaluation and reporting.
Burbrella Lower School (Grades 1–5)
At Burbrella, elementary learning is hands-on, joyful, and deeply personalized. Through integrated academics, real-world projects, and creative exploration, learners build strong foundations in literacy, math, and self-expression—developing into confident, curious problem-solvers ready to lead their learning.
Burbrella Upper School (Grades 6–12)
Middle and high school at Burbrella is where students take ownership of their education. With a focus on critical thinking, purpose-driven projects, and flexible pathways, we empower learners to explore their passions, build life-ready skills, and thrive in college, career, or entrepreneurship. Dual Enrollment and Internships begin in our upper school program.

Burbrella Academy offers before care, afterschool care, and enrichment clubs to support both full-time private school and homeschooling families through our partnership with the Superlative Club.
