Buckhorn Elementary school has a warm, friendly and encouraging environment. Though a small school, our teachers are professional and work to ensure all our students are successful. Situated on the outskirts of Prince George City limits, our size and rural element help promote a supportive family atmosphere.
Along with quality academic programs, we offer a full range of educational support services, a variety of extra-curricular activities including traditional sports, choir, newspaper, social awareness events, and several drama opportunities.
We host "Strong Start" for students up to the age of 5 every Wednesday afternoon from 12:00 to 2:15.
