School Notes Overview:

Founded in 1851, Buffalo Seminary is a small, selective, independent, college preparatory school for girls. Buffalo Seminary provides young women with a uniquely intimate environment in which they can thrive. Students receive individual attention from outstanding faculty and staff, and classes are small so that every student’s perspective is voiced and heard. This provides a nurturing forum for leadership to emerge. The goal of Buffalo Seminary is to produce thoughtful, informed, and confident young women. To achieve this, we provide our students with a variety of course offerings in the classroom, including Advanced Placement courses in English, History, Math, Science, and Foreign Language, as well as many Honors courses. Our teachers are also always available to students and their parents to answer any questions or to provide additional help. ...read more
