SEED School was featured on 60 Minutes on Sunday, May 23. In case you missed it, you can watch the episode below. The segment highlighted the strength of the college-preparatory, public boarding school model.
Byron Pitts reports on the SEED school, the first urban, public boarding school.
SEED’s innovative model integrates a rigorous academic program with a nurturing boarding program, which teaches life skills and provides a safe and secure environment. This boarding school model provides a comprehensive solution to the challenges facing urban students and serves as a prototype for expansion nationwide.
SEED’s model has proven successful: 97 percent of SEED graduates have been accepted to college and 90 percent have immediately enrolled in college.
