Nichols School

That building used to be home to the basketball court and swimming pool, which have been converted into the dance studio and music room, respectively.

The Nichols campus includes seven separate buildings linked by tree-lined sidewalks and an indoor passageway.

The campus consolidation project, completed in August 2001, joined the Middle and Upper school divisions.

Most teams have tryouts, mandatory practices and matches after school hours and play in competitive leagues throughout Western New York and Canada.

Artistic achievement is highlighted not only in plays and exhibitions, but also in morning meetings, where students often share their talents with the rest of the school.

Students have the opportunity to compose music, write plays, choreograph dances, make their own films or curate their own art opening.

While abroad, students attend classes at the hosting institution and travel to historical and cultural sites of importance.

[citation needed] Nichols offers a variety of extracurricular clubs, activities, trips and community service opportunities to students.

Anti-Gravity Club, the school's outdoors and climbing club, sponsors multiple trips to the Niagara Climbing Center and Niagara Gorge in addition to an annual winter hiking, cross-country skiing and ice-climbing trip to Keene Valley in the Adirondack Mountains.

The Science Scholar program works with SUNY Buffalo, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute.
