Classical Education

At Buffalo Academy, we are proud to offer a curriculum inspired by the classical education model championed by Hillsdale College. This approach focuses on cultivating a love of learning and developing critical thinking skills in our students. By emphasizing the importance of teaching students how to think rather than what to think, we aim to nurture their intellectual curiosity and moral character, preparing them for success in school and beyond.

Our curriculum is built around a rigorous study of core subjects, including mathematics, literature, history, science, and foreign languages. Students engage with the great books of Western civilization, allowing them to explore the profound ideas and principles that have shaped human thought and society. This rich academic experience fosters a deep understanding of essential concepts, empowering students to make connections across disciplines.

Writing and rhetoric play a vital role in our educational philosophy. We believe that strong communication skills are crucial for success in today’s world. Our program emphasizes clear and persuasive writing, enabling students to articulate their thoughts effectively. Through various writing assignments and presentations, students learn to express their ideas with clarity and confidence, skills that will serve them well in their academic journeys and future careers.

By choosing Buffalo Academy, families can trust that their children are receiving a well-rounded education rooted in the principles of classical learning. Our curriculum not only emphasizes academic achievement but also aims to instill virtues and character, preparing our students to become informed and engaged citizens in a democratic society.
