The Buckley School, the oldest independent, all-gender, K–12 school in Los Angeles, and one of the only with all grades on one campus, seeks an experienced independent school educator and administrator to serve as the next Assistant Head of School to extend the community’s bold, mission-based work.

Why come to Buckley? In the words of the school’s new educational vision, faculty, staff, and families come to Buckley to uplift others; to relish experimentation, play and curiosity; to view challenges as opportunities; to invest in community; to prepare students to be Architects of the Future — ready for college and for life. At the heart of this K–12 community is the deep belief that children, adolescents, and adults have the capacity to grow at every stage, and that they do so best in the context of longstanding, deeply connected relationships.
