Catholic education is alive and well in the diocese of Buffalo! At Catholic Academy of West Buffalo, we are celebrating 24 years of excellence in education. Located at 1069 Delaware Avenue, in the heart of Buffalo’s historic district, our school is strong and vibrant and we embrace our Catholic faith and the diversity of our neighborhoods.
We offer programs in grades Pre-K (3) through 8th grade. Students in our 2011 graduating class won over $110,000 in academic scholarships to area high schools, with (2) of our 8th graders winning prestigious Oishei scholarships. The 8th grade students who participated in Integrated Algebra had a 100% pass rate on the Regents Exam in June! One of our Kindergarten students was awarded 2nd place in the 2010 PBS Kids Go! Writing Contest. Eleven students in grades 6 & 8 entered the WNY Science Congress in April and six earned medals, including a 6th grader who was chosen as an alternate to compete in the State competition. One of our 2nd graders was awarded 3rd place in Division 1 for her essay in the Annual SPCA composition contest. The Art Honors class won an Honorable Mention at the 2011 Albright Knox Art Gallery Arts Alive contest. We are very proud of our students' accomplishments.
We pride ourselves on a rigorous academic program and offer a wide variety of extracurricular activities. We are challenged by changing educational strategies and always strive to keep current with curriculum and technological advances. We are thrilled that our building has gone "Wi Fi" to accomodate laptops and whiteboards in use in most classrooms and look forward to continuing advancement in technology for our students.
