The SEED School of Maryland

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

SEED is an extraordinary opportunity for students from across the state to receive a tuition free, college preparatory, boarding education. The Maryland General Assembly passed legislation to establish the school, which will receive state and local funds. The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) will oversee the school and will hold it accountable to state and federal standards for teaching and learning.

The school is building on the success of The SEED School of Washington, DC – the nation’s only other public, urban, college-preparatory boarding school. The SEED Foundation launched The SEED School ten years ago and is working with MSDE to continue developing the new school in Maryland.
