    The SEED School of Maryland

    The SEED School of Maryland is a new statewide
    college-preparatory public boarding school that will
    open in August 2008. The school will initially enroll
    80 sixth-graders, and grow to serve up to 400
    students in grades six through twelve.

    SEED is a unique opportunity for students to get a
    tuition-free
    college-prep boarding education. The state-funded
    school is authorized and funded by the Maryland
    General Assembly, and Maryland State Department
    of Education (MSDE) will oversee the development
    and monitoring of the school and will hold it
    accountable to state and federal standards.

    The school will build on the success of The SEED
    School of Washington, DC-the nation's only public
    urban boarding school. The SEED Foundation
    launched The SEED School ten years ago and is
    working with MSDE to develop the new school in
    Maryland.

    Academic curriculum, life skills, and enrichment
    activities:

    SEED integrates a rigorous academic curriculum
    with life skills and enrichment activities. Students
    and their families commit to an intensive seven-year
    program that offers small class sizes, clearly defined
    standards, mentorship, community service, and
    extracurricular activities. Students also develop
    social skills and learn SEED's core values: self-
    discipline, compassion, integrity, self-respect, and
    responsibility. SEED partners with parents, families,
    and communities to support student success. The
    school follows a typical academic year calendar.

    The campus community:

    SEED will be located in southwest Baltimore on the
    former campus of Southwestern High School. The
    52-acre campus will include dormitories, faculty and
    staff housing, athletic and recreational facilities, and
    academic/administration buildings.

    All SEED students live on campus in college-style
    dormitories from Sunday evening through Friday
    afternoon, returning home on the weekends. SEED
    has a high staff-to-student ratio, and provides a safe
    and supportive environment for student's 24-hours a
    day. SEED staff will also work with families to help
    facilitate transportation to and from campus each
    week.

    Enrolling in SEED:

    The SEED School of Maryland is currently recruiting
    its first class of 80 sixth graders to begin in August
    2008. SEED seeks students and families that will
    commit to a seven-year journey from sixth grade to
    college, and for whom a free boarding school will be
    a key factor for their school success. To qualify for
    admission, students must:

    • Be a Maryland resident entering the sixth grade;
    and
    • Have experienced academic and environmental
    challenges that hinder their ability to complete high
    school and attend college.

    SEED expects that the number of applications will
    exceed the space available and that the school will
    hold a lottery to determine enrollment.
