Student Life

Philosphy & Approach

SEED’s college prep learning environment extends well beyond the classroom. The SEED School’s student life program is the boarding component of the School’s 24-hour day, offering enrichment activities, athletics, student government, and academic tutoring both before and after the academic day.

The cornerstone of the student life program is the HALLS (Habits for Achieving Life-Long Success) curriculum, which teaches study skills, effective time management, interpersonal communication, and other skills that will prepare the scholars for success in their educational, personal, and professional endeavors.

During the student life program, students receive tutoring from volunteers, compete in athletics, attend cultural events and participate in after-school activities such as student government, robotics, dance, and cooking class. SEED LA partners with local and national organizations to expose students to new experiences that will broaden their world view as well as inspire new passions and pursuits.

Dorm life centers around “houses”, each named for a college or university. This house structure encourages a sense of community and cohesion among peers. These tight-knit groups of students share both daily routines, including study hall, meal time and book clubs, and extracurricular activities. Living in the dorms, students get a feel for life at college and learn how to live with others, a skill that will serve them well when they go to college themselves.
