Buxton School 是所小型的国际化的寄宿学校,创建于 1928年,位于麻省美丽波克夏山之间的威廉镇。自从创办起, Buxton School便保持了一个相当良好的大学入学记录。这个成绩的取得来源于 Buxton School优良因材施教的优良传统。学校不仅重视学生的课堂教学,也从不忽视课外活动对学生个性塑造以及潜力开发的重要作用,不同的种族、宗教、社会背景的学生在这里融合,学校国际学生比例为5 %,他们在这里都能得到学校精心照顾,并为以后的大学学习做好充准备。Buxton School位于麻省的Williamstown,四周环绕的是美丽的Berkshire山脉。距离波士顿仅需3小时车程,距离纽约也只是3.5小时车程,交通非常方面。如果学生想要前往麻省的Lenox或者纽约的Albany的话,则只需要1个小时就可以。距离学校最近的是Albany International Airport, 在学校以西45英里处。气候属于温带大陆性湿润气候,冬季寒冷,夏季降水丰富。 For over 80 years, Buxton has been educating students in the progressive tradition. Experienced faculty nurture and challenge students in all aspects of their intellectual, artistic, and social lives. Discussion-based classes are the norm; advanced classes are offered in all academic areas; the arts program is varied and full. Central to the school experience are Work Program and the All-School Trip, an on-the-road urban study of a North American city. The lovely 150-acre campus overlooks historic Williamstown. Williams College and the Clark Art Institute, exceptional resources, are right next door.

Sixteen credits are required for graduation, which include 4 years of English and a year of American history. Students are also counseled to complete a minimum of 3 years of mathematics, 2 years of social science, 2 years of laboratory science, and a minimum of 3 years of a foreign language. In addition, students are also strongly encouraged to pursue courses in the arts.
Three times a year, each student and his or her parents receive a report letter detailing the student’s progress. Students will receive these written report letters in what we call a “report conference” with a senior faculty member. There, students will read and discuss what their teachers have written along with their own written self-evaluations. We feel that this combination of written and verbal evaluation is more throrough, more subtle, more effective, more humane, and, finally, more educational than letter grades. With this system, Buxton teachers are able to give very specific encouragement, advice, and instruction; as a result, students know preceisely how they are doing in each of their classes and what they need to do to improve. For college-admissions purposes, we do generate a graded report card that students see for the first time at the end of their junior year. As our evaluative process is so thorough, it is very unlikely that students will be surprised by their letter grades. In addition to these reports, a student’s academic advisor is in regular contact with the parents regarding their child’s performance.

Annual Urban Intensive: This year, the school was lucky enough to go to Nicaragua, a country with whom we share a hemisphere but about which so many Americans know so very little. While Nicaraguan history has been profoundly affected by American politics, policies, and actions, we remain at a great remove from its beauties and struggles. This trip certainly changed that for the members of the Buxton community—profoundly. Through their interactions with the friendly and generous people they met, through the words of the articulate and impassioned speakers they heard, through the beauty of the artisanry of its citizens, Buxton students and faculty came to love and appreciate this small Central American nation. http://www.buxtonschool.org/nicaragua2014
