The SEED School of Maryland – a new statewide opportunity for students from disadvantaged circumstances

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 6 through 12.

The Maryland General Assembly passed legislation to establish the program which will be publicly funded through state and local sources.  The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) will oversee the school and will hold it accountable to state and federal standards.

To qualify for admission, students must:

• Be a Maryland resident entering the sixth grade,
• Have experienced academic and environmental challenges that hinder their ability to complete high school and attend college, and
• Meet other eligibility criteria specified in the new law.  [Click Here for law]
