My daughter is halfway through her freshmen year at Buffalo Seminary, and has been absolutely flourishing. Everything the school says it is, it is. SEM is place of academic rigor, a place that holds respect and kindness to a high standard, but above all, a place the believes in empowering young women. I am thankful daily that she is part of the student community!!

Best decision we ever made! The foundation our daughter received will follow her throughout her lifetime. She is prepared for college and the world. Something a public could not have provided.
