WE INVITE STUDENT'S INTERESTS AND PASSIONS INTO OUR WORK IN EACH CLASSROOM, WHETHER THAT HAPPENS IN ALGEBRA OR ENGLISH, ON STAGE OR CHOPPING WOOD, OR PREPARING A MEAL TOGETHER OR EXPLORING OIL PAINTING. WE BELIEVE THAT ENGAGING OUR DIFFERENCES ENHANCES THE QUALITY OF OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR LEARNING. AND WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY STUDENT DESERVES TO FEEL SEEN AND KNOWN AND SAFE. WE EMBRACE EACH INDIVIDUAL AND ARE EAGER TO WELCOME ELEMENTS OF OUR IDENTITIES ACROSS RACE, ETHNICITY, GENDER, SEXUALITY, SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS AND LEARNING STYLE. BUXTON OFFERS ENGAGING, THOUGHT-PROVOKING, DISCUSSION-BASED CURRICULA DESIGNED TO ENGAGE EACH STUDENT, BOTH IN AND OUT OF THE CLASSROOM. OUR PROGRAM MERGES CLASSES IN THE ARTS, DRAMA, MUSIC, ENGLISH, FOREIGN LANGUAGES, HISTORY, SOCIAL SCIENCES, MATHEMATICS, AND SCIENCES, ALONG WITH A UNIQUE ALL-SCHOOL TRIP. WHEN STUDENTS ARE INSPIRED OR DEEPLY CURIOUS ABOUT A SUBJECT, WE WORK TOGETHER TO WEAVE THAT INTEREST INTO THE CURRICULUM, ENSURING LEARNING STAYS RELEVANT, RESPONSIVE, AND STUDENT-DRIVEN. OUR STUDENTS RECEIVE SUPPORT IN THEIR GROWTH AND ARE ENCOURAGED TO BECOME ANALYTICAL THINKERS, COLLABORATORS, ARTISTS, AND ACTIVE CITIZENS.
