Burton gives verified teachers 20% off select gear, confirmed directly on Burton’s own discount programs page. The offer covers anyone currently working at a school in the education field or holding an active teaching credential, administrators included.
Burton is a snowboarding company founded by Jake Burton Carpenter in 1977, and it has grown into one of the most recognized names in snow sports. Beyond snowboards themselves, Burton makes bindings, boots, and a full line of cold-weather outerwear worn well past the slopes, which is why the teacher discount applies across most of the catalog rather than just board hardware.
How To Get The Burton Teacher Discount
Verify your teacher status through SheerID on Burton’s discount programs page. SheerID asks for some basic personal information to confirm your school employment or active teaching credential, then issues a one-time promo code by email. Enter that code at checkout on burton.com; the discount is online-only and doesn’t work at Burton flagship stores. You can request a new code every 3 months, but each one is single-use and can’t be combined with any other percent-off discount. Burton lists the program as open to teachers in the United States and Canada.
If you’re outfitting a classroom or your own winter-gear closet, Keen’s teacher discount on footwear runs on a similar verify-once, shop-anytime model and is worth checking too.
What About Full-Time College Students?
Burton runs a separate student track through the same SheerID system. Anyone currently enrolled in classes that count toward a diploma, degree, or professional license may qualify for the same 20% off select gear, verified as a student rather than as school staff. It’s a distinct eligibility path from the teacher discount above, not a stacking option on top of it, so pick whichever verification actually matches your status: a teacher who is also finishing a graduate degree still only gets one 20% code at a time, not both stacked together.
Verification itself is usually quick either way. Burton’s own FAQ describes it as almost instantaneous in most cases, with the code shown on-screen and emailed right away. Occasionally SheerID needs to review a document instead, which can add up to 20 minutes before the code arrives, so it’s worth verifying before a big purchase rather than at checkout under time pressure.
