Founded in 1851, Buffalo Seminary (SEM) is one of the oldest independent all-girls’ high schools in the United States. Our mission and vision honor a commitment to flexible learning, celebrating your personal pursuits while receiving a SEM education and meaningful learning experience.
We support students and their passions through SEMFlex, a way for you to still receive our outstanding academic programming, with the flexibility to take time out of the traditional classroom. This groundbreaking initiative allows students to complete their schoolwork remotely, while competing or traveling for special interests such as equestrian, music, figure skating and dance.
In this program, you’ll work one-on-one with a dedicated teacher liaison to create a specialized program that keeps you on track academically and on time for graduation.
Are you an aspiring dancer? SEMFlex allowed Emmy Robinson ‘22 to pursue the opportunity to join an intensive dance conservatory at the Joffrey Ballet School in Chicago. She’s now secured a spot with the Atlanta Ballet, dancing professionally.
SEMFlex can be granted towards much more than athletics. If you have a passion for academic research, land a life-changing internship in NYC, work a part-time job to support your college fund, these opportunities are yours to take.
With an average class size of 10, personal attention is the hallmark of a SEM education. Offering 19 AP classes, more than 25 student-run clubs, 16 athletic teams, and incredible theater and arts programming, options for SEM students abound.
