A BUXTON EDUCATION
Education at Buxton is composed of academic courses, activities, and community life. Each must, at times, take precedence over the others, and each contains unique and vital growth potential-hence the conviction that all three are of educational significance. Given this belief, individual course programs allow for a mixture of academic and non-academic pursuits. The curriculum is broad and demanding, offering a combination of traditional subjects, courses in the arts, and some studies rarely encountered before college. The school strives to present challenges in a manner that brings new levels of insight, courage and ambition in a non-competitive and intellectually rigorous environment. Compassionate adult interaction is the cornerstone of education at Buxton. For more on how we approach living and learning at Buxton, please see our viewbook.
