Katherine Delmar Burke School, commonly known as Burke's,[3] is an independent girls' school for kindergarten through eighth grade, located in the Sea Cliff neighborhood of San Francisco, California, United States, near Lincoln Park.

Originally it could have been a finishing school but the founder Katherine Delmar Burke wanted girls to be college ready.

In 1918, the growing school moved to a new building designed by architect Julia Morgan (a friend of Katherine Burke), located at 3065 Jackson Street.

The school began acquiring property in Sea Cliff in 1929.

[9][10][11] While once known as a finishing school where a school play made local headlines, Burke's in 2009 was cited in the Irish American newspaper the Herald that concluded, "[Burke's] innovative work of preparing young girls to attend college is an important chapter in San Francisco’s history.
