VALUES
At Buckingham, our teaching is built on our four school values: Respect, Responsibility, Empathy, and Integrity. It is through these core values that our students are learning about the world around them, as well as helping them to acquire the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that will enable them to be successful in the future.
SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
The staff, students, and parents of Buckingham Elementary School work together to create a safe
environment. We believe that children must feel emotionally and physically secure to fully participate in active learning. We strive to nurture the whole child and honour individuality. The unique learning style of each child is recognized and developed through varied differentiated learning experiences, inside and outside of the classroom. We practice and model consistency, fairness, and respect to develop a socially responsible school culture.
*School community input is valued and important to us. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please contact Vicki Moro at vicki.moro@burnabyschools.ca
