Case Study: Burke’s achieves exceptional virtual learning with Zoom Video Communications and Neat Bar

How Zoom-Enabled Neat Bars Are Reshaping Learning at Burke’s K-8 School

Katherine Delmar Burke School (Burke’s) is a San Francisco K–8 school serving about 400 girls with a century-long mission to educate, encourage, and empower young women. When the pandemic forced instruction online, administrators needed to close the gap between in-person and virtual learning—finding an affordable, easy-to-deploy hardware solution that delivered high-quality audio and video without adding complexity for teachers.

Burke’s adopted Zoom Meetings with Neat Bars in every classroom, paired with simple one-click starts via Neat Pad and targeted teacher training. The rollout delivered clearer audio/video, a frictionless user experience, and an affordable, scalable way to recreate classroom presence remotely—opening new possibilities for remote lessons during poor air-quality days and cross-classroom language exchanges.
