The B. Lord Buckley Society

B. Lord Buckley, a professional educator and an innovator in his time, founded The Buckley School in 1913 as a boys’ elementary school. Mr. Buckley’s dedication to teaching quickly earned the School a reputation for excellence. Buckley offered a rigorous classical curriculum and stressed the importance of diligence, respect, strength of character, leadership and compassion. Honor et Veritas became Buckley’s motto. It is in his memory that Buckley's planned giving society has been created to secure the legacy of The Buckley School.
