News & Announcements

For the health and safety of our community, Buckingham Friends School has pivoted to a temporary period of distance learning from December 1st through December 18th. During this time, students will be fully engaged by our dedicated teachers, who will utilize innovative resources and deliver our broad program and schedule in a manner true to our mission, core values, and philosophy. We look forward to welcoming our students back to campus for in-person learning following our Winter Break.

Due to the predicted hazardous conditions and timing of the winter snowstorm, Buckingham Friends School will be closed on Thursday, December 17. Be safe and enjoy the snow!

After three months away, members of the Eighth Grade class, their immediate families, and several teachers returned to campus on June 12th – in socially-distanced ways – to celebrate the Eighth Grade class, conclude BFS’s 225th year, and hold graduation on the upper field.

In March 2020 the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade French students participated in Le Grand Concours, a National French Contest sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of French.

Using a self-designed procedure, our 8th grade students recently completed a lab designed to separate components from an unknown mixture that included both solids and liquids.

BFS held its annual Pet Day last week! To allow for social distancing, the traditional one-day event became a week of fun!

As an educational community established upon the foundation of the Religious Society of Friends, Buckingham Friends School believes that all people are equal and that all voices deserve to be heard, valued, and incorporated.

At Buckingham Friends School, our mission guides us to “honor the Light within each person” and “instill the value of caring for others and our world.”

“Let it Shine” was a total success! It is with a deep regard for the evidenced spirit and support within the BFS community that I write to express heart-felt gratitude to the scores of current and former community members and friends of BFS that gathered on Friday night for a memorable evening of fun, friendship, and fundraising. Expectations in each of these areas was exceeded.
