Prep Bridge

“The best part of participating in Buffalo Prep was how the curriculum was connected to the outside world.”

Prep Bridge is designed for scholars who wish to stay connected to their peers in a fun and accelerated learning environment throughout their 7th-grade school year. This culturally relevant academic enrichment program helps scholars to excel during middle school as they consider applying for the competitive High School Prep program. Scholars who completed a Buffalo Prep post-6th grade summer program can apply to Prep Bridge, which takes place on Saturdays at the University at Buffalo South Campus.
