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.
Founded as a progressive school in the 1920's, Buxton continues
to educate in the belief that students learn best when they are
engaged in meaningful activity in the context of community. In
addition to a curriculum that readies students for the rigors of
college, Buxton offers an extensive arts program that includes
theatre, studio art, ceramics, music (composition, theory, and
performance), photography, and a drum and dance program.
