Edmund Burke School
The Edmund Burke School is a private college preparatory school in Washington, D.C. Located on Connecticut Avenue, NW, near the Van Ness metro station. It covers 6th through 12th grades, and it currently enrolls about 300 students.〔https://burkeschool.org〕 Founded in 1968 by Jean Mooskin and Dick Roth, the school practices progressive education: teachers are called by their first names and classes are small. In 2003, after years of legal negotiations with neighbors, Burke gained city approval to expand its facilities with a new building which would increase both size and capacity. New computer labs, offices, classrooms, athletic facilities, a theater, and a large parking garage were built.
The school was named for British parliamentarian and philosopher Edmund Burke, a founder of modern Conservatism. The quote, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing," of which attribution to Burke is disputed, hangs in the main hallway adorned with statues of the school's founders, Dick Roth and Jean Mooskin.
==Facilities==
The school has two buildings, dubbed "Calvin" and "Hobbes", "Calvin" being the original building. The buildings occupy the corner of Connecticut Avenue and Upton St.〔https://www.google.com/maps?q=edmund+burke+school&ion=1&espv=2&bav=on.2,or.&bvm=bv.103627116,d.cWw&biw=1160&bih=796&dpr=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIqPXasc6dyAIVDB0-Ch2-sQVI〕 The school, while small in comparison to others in the area, still has all of the essential educational facilities, including a large black box theater, a gym, a library, a music studio, and one computer lab. Future plans for a pool have been rebuffed. In 2011, Burke refurnished Howard field, the athletic field on Upton St. utilized by Burke for general athletic use.
