About Us
Buckeye Community School came into being when a group of passionate educators decided to create a school where kids who were not being served well by traditional high schools could find a way to earn a high school diploma, therefore setting them up for future success. BCS serves students ages 14-21 in mid- and central-Ohio, with locations in Fremont, London, Mansfield, Marion, and Springfield.
Buckeye Community School is a public high school with an alternative learning environment - what that really means is we are innovative, creative and compassionate about getting kids through high school!
“We want to help every student who has a desire to earn a diploma - no matter what obstacles are in the way.”
We offer an alternative approach to traditional high school that is individualized based on each student’s unique needs and interests. Students work at their own pace, choose their own path to graduation, and can work around their schedule. We provide opportunities for students to prepare for future careers, college, and training programs while earning their diploma.
Our Mission:
To create an educational experience through positive relationships that empowers every person the opportunity to overcome personal challenges and pursue one’s unique goals.
“There’s nothing better than seeing a student being successful after graduation.”
Our Vision:
Meet the needs of the whole student
To have a productive, safe, orderly nurturing environment.
Clear and focused mission-assist students to graduate and succeed
Quality instructional leadership and effective communication
High expectations for achievement and success
Constant monitoring and recording of student progress
