Our Campus

The Lower School at 10 Buckingham Street is a three-acre, nine-building campus “village” nestled in a beautiful residential neighborhood near Harvard Square. The campus features turn-of-the-century houses juxtaposed with light-filled modern structures, all interconnected by winding brick paths, developmentally appropriate playgrounds, and a large playing field.

Buildings

Lehner Center
The newest building on campus, the Lehner Center, features a state-of-the-art music center and computer classroom on the first floor, and a series of modern science labs on the second floor. The third floor is home to the Pokross Room, a large activity space which serves multiple purposes throughout the year.

Morse Building
The sounds of laughter and excitement are a constant in the Morse Building, a structure that houses Beginner, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 classrooms, a music room, a library, and the Director’s Office.
The New Wing was added to the original Buckingham School house known as the Brick Building, and features classrooms for Grade 2, 3, and 4 students. This innovative renovation has married the old-world charm of a 1900s brick façade to the steel beams and natural light of more modern learning spaces.

Brick Building
Built in 1920 as the main schoolhouse for the Buckingham School, the Brick Building now holds classrooms for Grade 5 and 6 students. It also features a beautiful hardwood gymnasium, computer classroom, library, and common spaces.

Along a shady stretch of quiet Cambridge road sit the Markham House, Morrison House, and Bridgman House. These charming turn-of-the-century houses contain art and math classrooms, the Admissions Office, and BB&N’s After School Program respectively. Sitting on what was originally a pear orchard, the Markham House was the first schoolhouse in Cambridge when it opened in 1901.

Playground
Central to the Lower School campus are two playgrounds and a large synthetic-surface field, allowing students generous open spaces to play and explore on.
