The SEED Foundation partners with cities to prepare underserved students for success in college and beyond. SEED’s model integrates an academic program with a boarding program that teaches life skills and provides a safe and secure environment. The Foundation opens and supports public boarding schools and has two schools: The SEED School of Washington, D.C. (opened in 1998) and The SEED School of Maryland (opened in 2008).
