Strong starts here.
By aligning teachers, administration, parents and the community, our schools meet the individual needs of each student while creating a culture of learning and achievement. Students receive a rigorous, engaging education, complemented by access to the latest learning technology.
Our three schools, located in the Northeastern corner of the City of Buffalo, face many challenges, including poverty and the risk of low graduation and college attendance rates. This is also a neighborhood bounding with promise, including dedicated community stakeholders, an ongoing commitment to educational reform and rich physical, cultural and economic assets.
