Buffalo Seminary

SEM is an independent Boarding and Day School for girls in the heart of Buffalo, New York. Established in 1851, Buffalo Seminary was the sixth school for girls founded in the United States and remains the region’s only non-sectarian school for girls. Ranked #1 Best Private High School in WNY by Niche Best Schools, SEM prepares a diverse group of young women to be engaged scholars and citizens, proud to shape society rather than be controlled by it and ready to live and lead with honor, courage, and confidence.

“SEM in my eyes is a safe place not only for education but for personal growth. Through the various cultures and people that are in the classroom, you hear a plethora of perspectives. This creates a level of curiosity that is hard to find in this world. The faculty and staff provide an environment that supports equality through honest and deep discussions about our world. I just love it here!” – Leila, Class of 2026

Inspiring Audiences Across the World

Education can “Empower” all of us… it leads to new connections, innovations, conversations, and can ultimately transform lives. The team behind Empowered, hosted by Meg Ryan, fundamentally understands this and has dedicated the program’s platform to highlight some of the most critical stories that affect the way consumers live across the planet. Bolstered by a development and creative team with hundreds of years of cumulative experience, and employing some of the most cutting-edge filming techniques and technology occurring throughout the medium, Empowered utilizes educational television as a way to create a snapshot of our world, and the endless possibilities that will shape the future of society.

The production team that brings these stories to life assesses each individual episode as an opportunity to shed light on potentially underrepresented storylines and industry sectors. The process of cultivating these stories, coupled with an acutely unique distribution platform, allows Empowered to reach millions of homes in an effort to provide truly valuable content to those who are passionate about learning.
