Buffalo Prep was founded in 1989 by civic-minded community leaders who recognized that Buffalo's disadvantaged students were limited in their educational options. Using the Prep-for-Prep model, a highly successful program in New York City, the founders created Buffalo Prep to accelerate and prepare talented, low-income students for entrance into private, independent and competitive public schools.
Each year, more than 500 economically disadvantaged underrepresented students across the city participate in academic and enrichment classes that inspire their dreams, ignite their passion for learning, and prepare them for success in Buffalo Prep's partner schools, college, and ultimately in life.
Following a rigorous application process, Buffalo Prep's students attend accelerated classes and programs that dramatically improve their academic performance. Through Buffalo Prep, they gain access to the city's finest public and private college preparatory high schools, giving them a top quality education, mentoring, comradery, and support.Buffalo Prep works constantly to support its students and families throughout its unique pipeline of programs. This intensive approach ensures that 100% of Buffalo Prep's scholars are accepted to college. Buffalo Prep is expanding to meet the need in the community and your support will help us reach even more students!
