The Park School of Buffalo is an American private country school located north of Buffalo, New York in Snyder, a hamlet inside the town of Amherst in Erie County. Founded in 1912, the private college preparatory institution, serves roughly 245 students from Pre-Kindergarten to grade 12 [1].
The non-sectarian school says that it bases its educational philosophy on John Dewey[citation needed] with an individualized approach to teaching. The school advertises "small classes, big results" as an educational principle. The school's mission statement consists of six goals: "to learn how to learn and enjoy learning, to engage creatively in the discipline of learning, to expierence success and to rick failure, to practice freedom with responsibility, to transform challenge into opportunity, to be curious, to explore and to discover".[citation needed]
The Buffalo Rapids of the ABA played home games at the school from November 2005 to February 2006.[citation needed]
