About SEED :

The mission of SEED schools is to prepare scholars academically, socially, and emotionally, for success in and beyond college in a public, college-prep, boarding school setting.

The SEED Public Charter School of Washington D.C. (SEED DC) opened in 1998 as the nation’s first urban public college preparatory boarding school.

SEED DC empowers over 250 scholars in grades 9-12 to achieve their full potential within our 24-hour learning environment and exposure opportunities.

In the year 2023-2024, SEED will serve grades 9-12 only as we transition to providing more high- quality, high school seats to families in the District.

All SEED scholars live on campus between Sunday evenings and Friday afternoons.

Our innovative model integrates a rigorous academic program with a nurturing boarding program that teaches life skills and provides a safe and secure environment.

This boarding school model provides a comprehensive solution to the challenges facing urban youth and serves as a prototype for expansion nationwide.

Our model has proven successful : over 90 percent of SEED graduates have been accepted to four-year colleges and universities throughout the country and over 60 percent remain enrolled in college or already have earned college degrees.
