The SEED Foundation is a national nonprofit organization focused on providing early access to high-quality educational opportunities for underserved students through the establishment of college-prep, public boarding schools and postsecondary support via the SEED College Transition & Success Program. Since opening The SEED School of Washington, D.C. in 1998 as the nation’s first urban public boarding school, the Foundation has expanded to Maryland and plans for additional campuses, aiming to prepare students for college success and beyond. The model emphasizes concurrent residential living and rigorous academics for urban youth, with a track record of high college enrollment among graduates. Based in Washington, D.C., The SEED Foundation operates within the nonprofit education sector and partners with urban communities to expand access to transformative schooling options. The organization serves students in multiple locations, offering a continuum of services from grade-level education through postsecondary transition support, and it collaborates with various community stakeholders and partners to sustain and grow its campuses.
