Summer Programming is Underway!

Over 200 post-5th-8th grade scholars have embarked on their summer journey with Buffalo Prep: Prep Scholars Academy at D'Youville University, Middle School Prep at Nichols School, and High School Prep at the University at Buffalo South Campus.

Throughout the next month, students will immerse themselves in culturally relevant classes in math, English Language Arts, social studies, and science. They will also have the chance to join various clubs, such as Theater Club, GSA, Film Club, Sports Club, and more.

From exploring microeconomics to writing book reviews and conducting science experiments, this summer promises to be a dynamic and engaging learning experience.

Watch the video below to catch some highlights from the first week!

Stay tuned to our social media channels for updates on the exciting projects and activities our students are working on.
