Our Mission & Values
The school’s mission is grounded in the belief expressed by B. Lord Buckley that Opening The Eyes And Awakening The Mind is the essence of education. Guided by that mission for over a century, Buckley has purposely focused on developing a rigorous curriculum and teaching skills required for the students’ future, while remaining committed to a liberal arts education dedicated to nurturing the whole child and fostering joy in lifelong learning.
Our core values of Integrity, Kindness, Personal and Social Responsibility, and Mutual Respect are purposely woven into all aspects of teaching and learning at Buckley.
What are Buckley parents saying?
“From the moment my oldest started in Pre-K, we’ve been welcomed by a warm, nurturing, and deeply invested community of educators and families. Our kids have thrived—not just in the classroom, but as confident, kind, and well-rounded individuals.”
“As a Buckley parent for over 9 years, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible impact this school has had on our children’s academic, personal, and social growth. Buckley’s strong sense of community and commitment to character have made it a transformative experience for our entire family.”
“I can confidently say that enrolling our child in Buckley has been one of the best choices we’ve made. From the teachers and administrators to fellow parents and students, there is a warmth and inclusivity that makes you feel like you’re part of something special. We’re incredibly grateful to be part of the Buckley family and highly recommend it to any parent.”
