Message From the Head of School

Welcome to Buffalo Seminary 

Since 1851, SEM has fostered students’ confidence, competence, and authentic sense of self like only a school designed for girls can. Through rigorous academics, a wide range of athletic, artistic, and social opportunities, and strong relationships with teachers, administrators, and each other, SEM prepares its students for genuine success. Our small size means that each student is known and offered exceptional personalized opportunities throughout her academic career. The focus on community ensures that beyond the years spent within its walls, SEM will continue to provide a network of support in Western New York and across the globe. 

This world needs more engaged citizens, STEM experts, and thoughtful leaders. SEM is uniquely poised to nurture and develop young women who will go on to “shape society, rather than be controlled by it.” Come visit and experience for yourself the sense of community, stimulating academic environment, and fun. 

I look forward to meeting you.

Blair Parker
