Buffalo Seminary
Introduction
Buffalo Seminary is a small, selective, independent residential and day school for girls. Since our founding in 1851, we&apos&aposve been empowering young women to become leaders and to make a difference in an ever-evolving global community. As Western New York&apos&aposs only independent college preparatory school for girls, we offer a curriculum based on the traditional disciplines. We give each student a solid foundation in rigorous thought, clear expression, and essential skills across the range of liberal arts and sciences. Our richly varied program instills a lifelong love of learning, an appreciation for the fine arts, and an expectation that physical activity will be a continuing part of a full life. At Sem, we encourage all our students to dream big and to follow through on their aspirations.

School Notes
  • The all-girl advantage: Our single-sex environment encourages girls to dream big and to follow through on their aspirations. Beyond teaching literature, science, math, history, foreign languages, and the arts we teach confidence.
  • Leaders for life: Sem students enjoy not just equal opportunity, but every opportunity. All our class officers, club presidents, team captains, and student mentors are girls.
  • College prep that goes beyond standardized testing: Our rigorous academic program, bolstered by an independent curriculum, prepares students to think for themselves, both in and out of the classroom.
  • An average class size of 11 students: Our small classes guarantee individual attention, so no student goes unnoticed. Our advisory program also empowers our girls by building positive student-teacher relationships while encouraging open communication with parents.
  • Teachers who are as passionate as they are experienced: Our faculty is made up of educators committed to student-centered teaching. Experts in their field, they would still rather listen to Sem girls communicate original ideas than simply hear themselves talk.
  • Beloved traditions combined with 21st century learning: Founded in 1851, Sem has a rich history that still resonates today. We combine a respect for the past with a commitment to each girl future.
  • Cutting-edge technology that puts girls in control: Our one-to-one laptop program gives each student access to hands-on, project-based computer learning.
  • Student-centered clubs and activities: Whether it through music, art, drama, or sports, girls find an extracurricular outlet at Sem. Clubs and activities are determined by student interest, and every girl participates in community service throughout her four years.
  • A culture of freedom, a code of honor: Sem students enjoy extraordinary autonomy, while embracing a high level of responsibility. Our school honor code fosters trust and respect by preparing girls for the rewards and responsibilities of the 21st century.
  • A beautiful building that feels like a home, not an institution: Our 100-year-old building is a warm and nurturing space that makes serious learning a great deal of fun.
