Buckley Country Day School
Buckley Country Day School is an independent, coeducational day school providing a superior elementary education.
Every BCDS graduate carves a wooden plaque with their name, graduation year and a design to represent them, the plaque is then presented to the Head of School at Commencement. The plaques are on display all around the building - we cannot wait to see the plaques up from the Class of 2025!
Congratulations to our friends over @buckleydaycamp for their amazing performance of The Little Mermaid! And what a treat to see some familiar faces from school!
We are delighted to welcome Ms. Gina Horton as our new school counselor, supporting both the Lower and Upper Schools. Ms. Horton brings with her a distinguished career of over 30 years at Herricks Middle School, where she served as a counselor, Guidance Chair, and most recently as Assistant Principal for the past eight years. She holds a bachelor’s degree in social science from Dowling College and a master’s degree in school counseling from Hofstra University. An advocate for mindfulness and an active lifestyle, Ms. Horton enjoys skiing and various forms of fitness. She is excited to return to her counseling roots and is eager to build meaningful connections with students, families, and colleagues.
There are limited spaces in our Nursery program for the 2025-26 school year! We can’t wait to meet your family!
