Experience Our Mission
Buffalo Seminary prepares a diverse group of young women to be engaged scholars and citizens, proud to shape society rather than be controlled by it, and ready to live and lead with honor, courage, and confidence.
Find Your Character in Our Values
These values are the core beliefs that shape our community, inform our decisions, and guide our actions. Through them, you will develop conviction and confidence, and discover your authentic self.
We cultivate the intellect and independence of women, supporting them as life-long scholars and leaders.
We are a community of belonging. We embrace the richness of diversity in people and ideas and strive for an equitable experience for all.
We expect honor, compassion, and honesty in our words and actions.
We nurture the wellness of ourselves and our community, knowing it is essential to learning and growth.
We know that whether in school, in Buffalo, or in the world we must engage as empathetic and informed citizens.
Since 1851, SEM has valued innovative approaches to education, leadership, and authenticity.
