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

Interested students may also contact us with questions here.
