The SEED Foundation, Senior School Leader Residency
4 months ago
SEED is the nation's first and only network of public, college-preparatory boarding schools, providing a 24-hour, 5-day-per-week learning environment. In classrooms, dorm meetings, dining halls, evening study halls, and exposure opportunities, our students become strong, determined, and self-aware. With the gift of time, we build a community of support that empowers students to own their educational journeys and succeed in college and beyond.
As the first public, college-preparatory boarding schools in the U.S., SEED’s mission and approach to education are unique. SEED schools are tuition-free and, by design, serve traditionally underserved students. Our schools and graduates are supported by The SEED Foundation. In addition to providing programmatic and operating support to SEED schools in Washington, D.C. (The SEED School of Washington, D.C), Baltimore (The SEED School of Maryland), Miami (The SEED School of Miami), and Los Angeles (The SEED School of Los Angeles County, The SEED Foundation partners with communities to design and operate college-preparatory, public boarding schools that serve students five days a week from grades ranging from grades 6-12. The SEED Foundation’s College Transition & Success (CTS) team provides intensive, individualized support to each SEED graduate from their junior year of high school through their college graduation. Currently, The SEED network serves over 1,100 students in its four schools as well as hundreds of SEED graduates nationwide on their journey to and through college. The success of the SEED model has been showcased in media outlets and publications such as 60 Minutes, The New York Times, and in the documentary film “Waiting for Superman.” For more information, please visit www.seedfoundation.com.
