STEM-focused Curriculum for Grades 5-12:

To ensure we educate students to the highest international standards, we teach a robust, accelerated, liberal arts and STEM-focused curriculum that includes classes in:

- Math
- Science
- English
- Foreign Languages
- Logic
- Economics
- Fine Arts
- Music
- Drama
- Engineering
- World History

English Language Skills:
We recognize that a thorough knowledge of grammar is necessary for good writing - perhaps the most vital of basic skills, no matter what one prefers to study, and a notion that builds critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.

Math Curriculum:
A spiraling math curriculum not only introduces higher level content earlier in the student's academic experience, but ensures true mastery as concepts are regularly revisited as more complex material is taught.

Science Curriculum:
Similar to the best school systems in Europe and Asia, we break down the hard sciences to their essential elements in Middle School: chemistry, physics, and biology; allowing students to learn science effectively and reach deeper scientific understanding in the High School years and beyond.

Foreign Languages:
To navigate a global world, foreign language skills are of fundamental importance - starting in kindergarten, students are required to take Mandarin. In the Middle School years children can continue with their studies in Mandarin or pick another language to study.

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.
