• Why an Independent School

  The National Center for Education Statistics, with funding from the U.S. Department of Education, conducted the National Education Longitudinal Study (NELS) to measure the lifelong returns of an independent school education. NELS traced the life experiences of students who were eighth graders in 1988 into the 21st century.

• Transportation

  Local school districts in Nassau County within a 15-mile radius provide transportation to Buckley Country Day School if a child is at least five years old. Some districts also require that a child be in Kindergarten. Parents must apply to the transportation office of their own district by April 1st for the following school year. Please check with your district for specific guidelines. For children from neighboring Queens communities, Buckley assists families by arranging private transportation where available.

• Financial Aid

  Buckley offers financial aid based on demonstrated need. Requests for assistance do not affect admissions decisions or a current student’s place in the school community. All financial information is held in the strictest confidence.

  
  Applications for financial assistance for the 2019-2020 school year will be available online beginning November, 2018. For a preview, please click here.
