At Buxmont Academy, education awakens a profound change in students' lives and futures. Some students face significant challenges in traditional education settings. At Buxmont, those students have access to a lifeline. This institution goes beyond academics, offering personalized learning plans, behavioral health support, and mentorship to overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential.
The commitment to academic excellence is expressed as fostering growth, resilience, and a deep sense of community connection. By integrating restorative practices, Buxmont Academy equips students with the skills to forge positive relationships and tackle challenges with grace and determination. This holistic approach ensures that each student succeeds academically and emerges with the confidence and capability to embrace a future brimming with possibilities. Fortified with the embedded partnership of its sister program, Community Service Foundation, and the support of the IIRP, Buxmont cultivates a collaborative environment where restorative practices thrive, ensuring every student can flourish.
At the core of Buxmont’s mission lies a firm commitment to equitable access to quality education for all. Buxmont Academy proudly participates in Pennsylvania's Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, enabling businesses to invest in the future of the youth in their communities through essential educational scholarships. Pennsylvania’s EITC program stands as a beacon of hope and opportunity, channeling resources to educational institutions like Buxmont Academy and Community Service Foundation.
“Univest’s participation in the EITC program allows us to give back to educational institutions and support local students in a much bigger way than we could without the tax credit,” said Betsy Roush, Vice President of Community Relations, Univest. “We are proud to support Buxmont Academy and applaud the great work it does to give students a chance to thrive in a caring environment where they’re learning the skills they need to be successful in life.”
QNB Bank and Univest are proud to support and contribute to Buxmont Academy through the Pennsylvania EITC program. QNB and Univest work side by side with community partners and applaud Buxmont Academy for its tremendous efforts to educate at-risk youth. As Courtney L. Covelens, QNB Executive Vice President, Chief Retail & Chief Business Banking Officer, states: “We are grateful to participate in the EITC program, which allows our contribution dollars to go further, providing dedicated organizations like Buxmont Academy the needed funds to do even more!”
The EITC program provides more than just academic support—it serves as a demonstration of how equitable education can transform lives. As we address each student’s desire to succeed, we recognize the pivotal role of programs like EITC in shaping educational equity across Pennsylvania. The EITC program transcends mere financial contributions; it displays a commitment to community and shared responsibility. Businesses of all sizes play a crucial role in sculpting Pennsylvania’s educational landscape. By investing in education, businesses secure tax benefits, cultivate a skilled workforce, and bolster our state's economic vitality.
As Buxmont Academy and Community Service Foundation President Craig W. Adamson observes: "Beyond reducing educational disparities, EITC promotes community involvement and empowers students to surmount obstacles." Together with our partners, we aim to raise over $200,000 by June 30, 2026, impacting the lives of 250 students and ensuring them a brighter future.
The power of education inspires us all. Pennsylvania’s EITC program promises enduring benefits, empowering students to achieve economic independence and reducing their involvement with the justice system. This program calls upon business leaders, educators, and community members to join us in crafting a future where every student can shine.
