Tuition
Buxton is a progressive, all-gender boarding and day high school located in the Berkshire mountains of western Massachusetts. Our school is centered around inquiry, community, and creativity. We take teenagers seriously—as thinkers, decision-makers, creators, and citizens.
Our classes are small, heady, and discussion-based. Our arts program is broad and deep. Our students help maintain their school through Work Program, and help run it by serving as Dorm Supervisors, Fire Marshals, Student Reps, and more. Our signature annual Urban Intensive takes every student out on the road to meet with—and be inspired by—movers and shakers in cities all over the U.S.
What students love about Buxton is that they feel free to be themselves and can make unique and impactful contributions to the school. What faculty love is that they can teach what they are passionate about, and can encourage and support students as full, complex people.
At Buxton, don’t just go to school, live your education.

Buxton School Reviews
As soon as we got on campus, the friendliness of the students and the care of the faculty was evident. We were treated as humans and our questions mattered, as evidenced by the careful an thoughtful way they answered them. Once our girls wer accepted, the faculty really made sure that their learning goals were clear and addressed what my girls were interested in.
When seniors, they received top notch college advising, and were offered generous merit scholarships at several of top choice schools. The repuation of Buxton at certain arts and small liberal arts colleges means that those admissions folks know what to expect from Buxton students-- a love of learning, an eager mind, and engaged humans who want to make a difference in the world.
I would not hesitate to choose Buxton again!
