“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”

- Nelson Mandela

“No time is ever wasted if you have a book along as a companion.”

- Marian Wright Edelman

The pathway to educational prosperity is disruptive innovation.

Teach empathy as a life skill, not as a lesson plan.

For children to have success, it’s more than just academics. It takes social emotional intelligence.

“Buckner Education transcends industry to promote innovation in the education ecosystem.”

— Joy Buckner, Founder

 

Buckner Education is a contemporary consultancy working to allay old-world educational beliefs to meet contemporary educational challenges and needs. 

Based in the United Arab Emirates, we are dedicated to finding opportunities for innovation in the educational ecosystem. By addressing the full spectrum of student and practitioner needs, we blur the lines between the brick and mortar facilities where education happens to improve key areas of student and school performance.

Mission

At Buckner Education, we are on a mission to transform education by championing neurodiversity, advancing literacy, and fostering true equity in learning environments worldwide. We believe that every educator, leader, and community advocate deserves access to the tools and insights that ignite progress and inspire every learner to reach their full potential. Through bold collaboration across industries and an unwavering commitment to inclusive innovation, we drive change that empowers voices, nurtures resilience, and redefines what’s possible in education. Together, we’re building a world where learning transcends boundaries, and every mind can thrive.

  • We believe in meeting people where they are and respecting their unique insights and experiences. By prioritizing empathy and building genuine connections, we create solutions that resonate deeply, person to person, heart to heart.

  • Real change comes from working hand-in-hand with those closest to the issues. We collaborate with grassroots organizations and global stakeholders, knowing that expanding our community across borders broadens our perspective and drives progress that no one can achieve alone.

  • We believe everyone deserves equal access to opportunities and resources, regardless of location, background, or skill level. Our work prioritizes the empowerment of historically marginalized voices, ensuring each person we engage with knows their value and that their voice has a place at the table.

  • Equity is at the core of our mission. We design solutions that create a truly level playing field, fostering environments where all stakeholders can thrive.

  • We foster global connections, believing that true progress requires voices from all walks of life to connect, collaborate, and learn from each other.

  • Preparing today’s students to lead tomorrow requires a commitment to forward-thinking, adaptable pedagogy. We stay at the forefront of educational practices, ensuring our approaches evolve to meet the demands of an ever-changing world. Stagnation is not an option.
