Burgundy Farm Country Day School

Burgundy Farm Country Day School is an independent school on a 25-acre campus that serves students in pre-K through eighth grade.

History
The school was founded in 1946 by a group of concerned parents, which included some Quakers and also included noted CBS broadcast journalist Eric Sevareid and his wife Lois. In 1950, Burgundy became the first school in the Commonwealth of Virginia to racially integrate and worked actively to attract non-white students. Camay Calloway Murphy, daughter of Jazz bandleader and singer Cab Calloway, became one of the first African-Americans to teach at a white school when she accepted a position at Burgundy in the early 1950s.
