Job description

About The SEED School of Washington, D.C.
The SEED Foundation ( www.seedfoundation.com ) was created in 1997 to establish college-preparatory urban boarding schools that prepare secondary students, both academically and socially, for success in college and beyond. In 1998, the Foundation opened The SEED Public Charter School of Washington, D.C. - the nation's first public college preparatory boarding school. The school currently serves 250 students in grades 9-12. In 2015, 100% of SEED's seniors were accepted to a four-year college or university.
All SEED students live on campus from Sunday evening through Friday afternoon when they return home for the weekend. The dormitories are organized into small "houses" of an average of 15-18 students per resident advisor for afternoon and evening routines such as academic study hall, house meetings, SPARKS, and other structured activities. We provide a safe and caring 24-hour boarding experience. Our relationship with parents/guardians is essential to the success of their scholar while at SEED.
About The SEED Network:
SEED is the pioneering national network of public, college-preparatory boarding schools, offering a unique 24-hour, 5-day per week learning environment. Our tuition-free schools, the first of their kind in the U.S., are intentionally designed to serve traditionally underserved students. Supported by The SEED Foundation, we operate in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Miami, and Los Angeles. The Foundation's College Transition & Success (CTS) team provides comprehensive support to SEED graduates from junior year through college graduation. SEED's success has gained recognition from media outlets like 60 Minutes and The New York Times, and former President Obama has lauded it as "a true success story."
