Buxton Families
Buxton families and caregivers stay connected through the Buxton Organization of Parents (BOoP) — a group founded by Buxton families to support communication and coordination amongst our community of caregivers. BOoP helps everyone stay engaged and involved throughout the school year, whether near or far.
Through BOoP, families can ask and answer questions, share advice, coordinate rides, offer support, and stay in the loop about what’s happening on, around, and beyond campus. It’s a space for families to connect, communicate, and collaborate — both independently and in coordination with the school community.
If you’d like to get in touch with BOoP, they would love to hear from you at any time at boop@buxtonschool.org.
Buxton Alum Association
The Buxton School Alumni Association (BSAA) is a close-knit, independent organization founded by alumni to help fellow graduates and community members stay meaningfully connected to Buxton and to one another.
Whether you just graduated or walked through the Main House decades ago, BSAA is here to help you reconnect – with old classmates, with the school, and with new opportunities. From hosting alumni gatherings and regional events to supporting admissions outreach and career networking, the BSAA offers numerous opportunities to get involved and give back.
Our community is small but mighty, and staying in touch is what keeps the Buxton spirit alive. The BSAA also helps coordinate alumni speakers for current students and sponsors special events on campus, creating meaningful and long-lasting intergenerational connections.
Looking to hear what your classmates are up to? Exploring a new career path and want to connect with alumni in that field? The BSAA can help.
