The school educates and boards 400 students in grades six through twelve. The SEED School is an extraordinary educational opportunity for students across the state to receive a tuition-free, college-preparatory, boarding education. The SEED School of Maryland combines a rigorous and engaging academic curriculum with life skills and enrichment activities to provide students with a thoughtfully balanced learning and living experience. Students and their families commit to a seven-year educational program that offers small class sizes, high quality teaching and learning experiences, mentoring, community service, and extracurricular activities such as sports and arts. The SEED School is centered around its character values: compassion, growth, gratitude, perseverance, integrity, respect for oneself and others, and responsibility. The SEED School staff are in partnership with parents, families, and communities to guide and support student success. The school follows a typical academic school year calendar.

Our tuition-free schools, the first of their kind in the U.S., are intentionally designed to serve traditionally underserved students.

The Foundation's College Transition & Success (CTS) team provides comprehensive support to SEED graduates from junior year through college graduation.
