Description

About The SEED Network:

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.

About SEED School of Los Angeles County:

The mission of SEED Schools is to provide students with a rigorous, college preparatory, boarding school model that prepares them for success in college and careers.

The SEED School of Los Angeles County (SEED LA) opened in the Fall 2022 as California's first urban public college preparatory boarding school, the fourth SEED school in the nation.

Building a ninth-grade cohort each year, by the school year, SEED LA will empower roughly 400 students in Grades 9-12 to achieve their full potential through our 24-hour learning environment.

Our partnership with LA Metro provides a unique opportunity for students to advance their skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) while engaging in hands-on learning in the transportation field.

Our innovative model integrates a rigorous academic program with a nurturing boarding program that develops the whole child.

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

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

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 have already earned college degrees.
