The Burlington City & Lake Semester is an award-winning semester program for Burlington High School students. We use the city as our classroom, exploring the people, places, problems and possibilities of our community. We ask big questions, learn a lot about the real world, and have fun together. Students find their voice and their power as they work with leaders in city government, business, nonprofits and the arts on a variety of projects. We focus on five core themes:

  • Sense of Place
  • Community and Identity
  • Civic Engagement
  • Social Justice
  • Sustainability
  • Playing a game in the classroom
  • Working with community partners in the field
  • Walking in the urban wilds
  • Having fun in the classroom
  • BCL11 students at the Surf Club
