I am now going into my senior year at Buffalo Seminary and so far it has been a rollercoaster. I don't say this in a bad way though. Throughout my time at Buffalo Seminary, have failed academically, have had disciplinary infractions and more. Even after all of this my teachers and peers still rooted for me to do better and that's exactly what I did. I focused on my academics and always asked my teachers for help whenever i was confused and they were always open to help and see me. I am now the student government president of the school and I would not change my experience for anything. The best part is the people and the school culture. I love the school traditions, they are very fun. One thing I would like to see change though is the diversity. The student body itself is somewhat diverse but the faculty lacks diversity.

I loved my time at Sem. I had some incredible teachers and I learned so much more than I could have imagined. It's a great community to be a part of

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.
