Welcome!

The SEED LA team is honored to bring the county’s first college-prep public boarding school to California. The SEED model provides students with a pathway to college and career readiness by engaging in computer sciences, engineering, and studies of systems and societies through transportation infrastructure. 

In August 2022 we opened our doors to 125 ninth graders who became our founding SEED LA cohort of students. Growing one cohort every year, we will reach full capacity of 400 students during the 2025-26 school year. Scholars are on campus Sunday through Friday with an enthusiastic and committed group of teachers, advisors, and staff. 

What a commitment to college and career readiness looks like in our classes is students engaging in a rich curriculum across all content areas that are grounded in close reading, writing, and critical thinking skills. This work will lead to opportunities for building models, debates, capstone projects, and Ted Talks to support collaborative learning. It also looks like students asking questions of one another and finding joy in curiosity—and ultimately, it feels like inspiration. 

After-school and in the evenings, we foster learning opportunities through our Student Life Program which provides academic support to students through structured study and extracurricular activities such as dance, robotics, gardening, and engineering to name just a few. Boys and girls basketball and soccer teams will be offered as part of our Athletics Program and are essential pieces of our school community.  In walking the campus during after school hours, you might see courage as students try something new or cheers when a student lands a solution to a challenging problem. It feels like community. 

Ensuring high quality education for our students also means a belief that learning extends beyond the walls of our campus. External partnerships will offer a wide range of learning experiences such as international trips, internships and community service-learning projects that contribute to college readiness and success. 

SEED LA will make a great impact on the lives of students, our communities, and Los Angeles County and we would love the opportunity to share more with you.  Please click here to sign up for an upcoming virtual session to learn more about SEED LA, and gain insight on the enrollment process.

We look forward to getting to know families, students, and partners in the next coming months.
