Admissions and Enrollment

The application period for The SEED School of Maryland for 2008 is now closed.

We are no longer distributing applications at this time. For families that have already received student applications, the deadline to return them has been extended to compensate for any delays in sending out applications. Applications must be postmarked by Monday, May 5, or hand-delivered to The SEED School of Maryland office by 5:00pm EDT on May 5.

In August 2008, The SEED School of Maryland will enroll its first class of 80 sixth grade students; 40 girls/40 boys for August 2008. These are students and families who will make an important educational journey from grade six through twelve and beyond and for whom a boarding school will be the key factor in their success in school.

To qualify for admission, a student must:

• Be a Maryland resident;
• Be entering grade 6 in August 2008 and born on or after February 1, 1996 and
• Be experiencing academic and environmental challenges that interfere with their ability to complete high school and attend college.

SEED has received more applications from eligible students than there is space available, so students will be selected by lottery and we will maintain a waiting list. To promote geographic diversity, SEED will set aside one slot in the admissions lottery for each county from which an eligible student applies.

Please join us for the inaugural admissions lottery:
Saturday, May 17, 2008
