Financial Aid
Buxton is committed to empowering our students by creating opportunities for academic, personal and artistic growth. We use our financial aid platform to provide these opportunities to those students who would not otherwise be able to access them. Fifty percent of our student body currently receives financial aid.
The funding process begins in February, and consists of two key parts:
- Parents must submit a completed Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS), a current tax return and all schedules to the School & Student Services by NAIS portal at https://www.solutionsbysss.com/
- Parents must also submit a formal written request to for financial aid to Buxton. This document can be mailed to our business address or emailed to admissions@buxtonschool.org. The request must include your specific circumstances and state how much you can afford to pay for tuition.
Together, these documents provide a basis for review by the financial aid committee. Financial aid decisions are made independently from admissions decisions.

We learn how to be good to each other and how to support each other. Buxton has so much to offer students, both inside the classroom and outside of it."Great Barrington, MA

“I felt instantly at home when I stepped on the campus. At Buxton, we are in school 24/7. We learn things in the classroom, but we really learn valuable things outside of the classroom. We learn how to work with others and respect each other’s spaces. Our education surrounds us and we learn new things everyday.”Albany, NY
