Founded in 1851, Buffalo Seminary (SEM) was made with the intent of making a difference. Two men, Chester and West, wanted to make education widespread to women. Buffalo Seminary continues to uphold this tradition. But contrary to popular belief, SEM is not a “lesbian-factory”, they are just inclusive. Yes there are people from the LGBTQ community, but a lot of girls at SEM are straight. Girls come out of SEM with a better understanding of themselves, an impactful education, and the friends of a lifetime.
