A College-Prep Boarding School for At-Risk Children
Educate Tomorrow and The SEED Foundation joined together in 2010 to create a new entity called “The SEED School of Miami” – a public, college preparatory boarding school for middle and high school students. The SEED School furthers the mission of both organizations by providing disadvantaged local youth the opportunity to achieve academic success.
As a paradigm for America’s educational revolution, SEED’s innovative model integrates a 24-hour-a-day environment with rigorous academic and nurturing boarding programs that teach life skills and provide students with a safe and secure environment to thrive. The model includes academic, residential, mental health, physical health, social, and enrichment programs. SEED nurtures positive contact with families and community leaders, thereby strengthening students’ support structures and surrounding communities.
The school will house 6th to 12th graders and is projected to open in the fall of 2013. The first class will consist of 30-40 students. In the subsequent years 50-80 students per grade level will be added. Students will live on-campus in dormitories during the week, have access to both mental and academic support in addition to after-school enrichment activities.
