Overview

Founded in 1851, Buffalo Seminary is a small, selective, independent, college preparatory girls' residential and day school. Buffalo Seminary is dedicated to being a school where integrity, honesty, tolerance, and concern for others are dominant forces. Through implementation of a one-to-one laptop program, we integrate technology within our hands-on liberal arts curriculum. Within the humanities, we utilize the Harkness method. Harkness discussion is a teaching and learning method involving students seated in a large, oval configuration to discuss ideas in an encouraging, open-minded environment with only occasional or minimal teacher intervention.
