Our Mission
Burrell Academy (B.A.) was founded on the belief that every child has the capacity to learn in their own unique way. Students are pushed to meet their full potential based on their current ability. Here at B.A., we learn not only with each other, but from each other. Each student has a curriculum that is customized to meet their individual needs, which is monitored through constant observations and assessments to maximize their success.
