Burgundy Farm Country Day School, a progressive JK-8 school set on a pastoral 26-acre former dairy farm just outside Washington, D.C., seeks a relational, strategic, and community-centered leader to serve as its next Director of Admissions.
Burgundy offers something genuinely rare in the competitive DC metropolitan independent schools market: an education that is experiential, joyfully student-centered, and academically rigorous.
For a mission-driven admissions leader, this is an opportunity to join a school where children are known as whole people, where a close-knit community of students, families, faculty, and alumni is central to the experience, and where the work of admissions carries real impact for the school's future.
Burgundy's culture is as distinctive as its campus. Built on kindness, respect, and a genuine belief that every voice matters, Burgundy is a school where children arrive each morning with joy and leave each afternoon happy and fulfilled, having spent much of their day outdoors, engaging the natural world and former farm campus as a living classroom.
Faculty bring deep experience and knowledge to their work, teaching with the kind of creativity and conviction that comes from professional autonomy. Families are not peripheral to the Burgundy experience; they are woven into its fabric, forming a multigenerational community that extends well beyond the years their children are enrolled.
And threaded through everything is a deep and sincere commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and to preparing students to engage thoughtfully and compassionately with a complex, diverse world.
Burgundy enters its next chapter with real momentum and a clear-eyed sense of the work ahead. Enrollment growth is the priority: expanding the school's reach across the greater DMV region, telling Burgundy’s story and impact, connecting with communities and families who may not yet know Burgundy, and building a broader and more diverse enrollment.
