School Notes
Buxton is a small, progressive and diverse boarding and day
college preparatory school nestled in the Berkshire Hills of
western Massachusetts. For the past 90 years, our faculty and staff
have delighted in welcoming students to our egalitarian community
to inspire and nurture their academic, artistic and social
growth.
There's much more to running a small private school than offering great academics and teaching. Be sure to check under the hood regularly to make sure everything keeps running smoothly.
Most adults find traveling more complicated and challenging that it was pre-pandemic. We offer some suggestions for safe teen travel in these uncertain times.
