Summer at Buckley is led by Summer Camp Director Ms. Ruelas. The Junior Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program is application-based for current Buckley students in grades 7–8, and Junior CITs will earn a Red Cross Babysitting Certificate. The Buckley School’s mission states that it is a dynamic, nurturing learning community committed to equity and inclusion, with innovative teachers and challenging programs that inspire creativity, courage, and collaboration, and that by promoting a balanced development of mind, body, and character, it encourages each student to find joy and meaning in life and make an impact in the world.
One student, Talia ’28, says, “There are so many different activities, experiences, and clubs at Buckley where you can find friends.” A kindergarten parent says, “We have been so impressed by the warmth, dedication, and care demonstrated by every teacher and staff member. The emphasis on character-building, respect for others, and the encouragement of creativity and exploration has not only shaped our children academically, but also helped instill values that will last a lifetime.”
