TheBuckleySchool

Founded in 1933, The Buckley School is a K-12 co-educational independent school in Sherman Oaks. Its serene canyon campus is home to 790 students and a vibrant, creative and challenging learning community.


The Buckley 4-Fold Plan of Education blends elements of traditional structure with a non-traditional philosophy. We espouse whole-child education -- a deeply inter-connected program of academics, arts, physical development and moral education -- adopt current teaching methodologies and educational technologies, and infuse our entire program with creativity, critical thinking, global and multicultural perspectives and 21st century learning principals. And yet, we believe this style of education is most effective within a more structured environment and with strong emphasis on character development; that personal traits, including self-discipline and self-reliance, are crucial to realizing individual potential and creativity.
