At Turning Point School, we strive to address the comprehensive educational needs of the whole, multi-faceted child. Here, the child is the focus, the teacher the facilitator. In an intimate and focused learning environment, students are able to realize their individual potential.

The Buckley School, Los Angeles

Courses / Programs

The Buckley School is a private, co-educational pre-kindergarten through to grade 12 school, the oldest coed day school located in Los Angeles, unique in its high level of academics, positive, friendly community, and small size. Based in Sherman Oaks, we serve families in Encino, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Beverly Glen and surrounding communities. More than preparation for high school, students are moved thoughtfully and sensitively from Lower School and prepared for the more departmentalized Upper School program.

The school climate permits them to develop their abilities and a love of learning while they are challenged academically. Dr. Buckley’s approach addresses the development of the whole student, enabling them to become well-rounded, knowledgeable, and independent. At Buckley, we look for students who are well suited to our philosophy. For us, success means feeling safe to take a risk, ask a question, try out for a play or run for office. It means students who take the opportunity to learn and grow in all areas of school life, inside and outside of the classroom.

- Pre-Kindergarten Program
- Lower School Program
- Middle School Program
- Upper School Program

Our academic curriculum is well rounded, with courses in English, mathematics, science, history, and foreign language.
