Buxton students are given a solid base upon which to build their everyday experiences and aspirations for further study.

The curriculum at Buxton is broad and demanding, offering a combination of traditional subjects, courses in the arts, and some studies rarely encountered before college. Courses, activities, and community life all contain vital potential for growth, so individual course programs allow for a mixture of academic and nonacademic pursuits.

Unlike many private and public schools, Buxton does not offer classes that are designated as "honors" level or that are AP-driven.

We do allow students to take AP tests if they want to. Individual faculty members can guide you in your study on a tutorial basis if both you and your teachers think the process will be beneficial to you.
