welcomes inquiries from students who are eager to learn
and who desire to be active participants in their education.

Here
are the basics that you need to know about applying to Buxton.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
We are looking forward to hearing from you!
U.S. Applicants
Buxton
School accepts students from the U.S. into the freshman,
sophomore and junior classes each year. In rare cases, we
will consider an applicant for the senior year. Please contact
us if you are interested in this option.
International
Applicants
Buxton
School welcomes international students to come for one,
two, three, or four years. Although we mainstream international
students into the regular classes and community at Buxton,
we also offer one-on-one ESL tutoring. For more about applying
from abroad, please see the checklist included in our application
forms.
If
you want to get to know Buxton better, please call the admissions
office to schedule a time for a tour of the campus and interview.
The
Application and Interview
All Applications and financial aid materials should be
submitted by February 1. We will mail our decision letters
by March 10 and will need to hear back from you by April
10. We also offer an early-notification option -- for more
information about this, please contact us. After the February
deadline, applications will be acted upon on a rolling basis
if space is available.
At
Buxton, a personal admissions interview is a necessary part
of the application process. We feel that the best way for
us to get to know you- and for you to get to know us- is
through mutual exchange and contact. When you come for your
appointment, you will have the opportunity to tour the campus,
meet with students, visit classes, and have an interview
-- a relaxed conversation with a faculty member of the school.
(And in case you're wondering, we interview students and
parents separately on the same day.) A phone interview is
an option for students who live at a great distance.
The
school does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race,
color, creed, national or ethnic origin in the administration
of its admissions and educational policies, financial aid
programs, athletic program, or other activities and programs
administered by the school.
Buxton School is accredited by the New England Association
of Schools and Colleges.
