The SEED School of Miami

At The SEED School of Miami, we don't just prepare students for college and beyond — we grow Changemakers. Scholars who lead. Teachers who mentor past the final bell. Alumni who come back to give. Families who believe in what's possible. Donors who plant the first seed.

Every one of them is asking the same question: What change are you planting?

This Give Miami Day, It’s your chance to be a Changemaker. Your gift fuels the 24-hour environment where SEED scholars — most of them first-generation college-bound students from South Florida's most under-resourced communities — build the character, confidence, and skills to change their own trajectory, and their family's for generations to come.

Change doesn't stop with one scholar. It ripples outward — into a household, a neighborhood, a future workplace, a community that hasn't seen this kind of possibility before.

Now it's your turn. SEED the change.

Your support helps SEED Miami provide a safe, nurturing, college-preparatory boarding environment where students grow, thrive, and discover their full potential. When you give today, you’re not just making a donation—you’re helping build stability, access, and a sense of home for our students.

ABOUT SEED: 

The SEED School of Miami is South Florida’s only college-preparatory, public boarding school for students in grades 6-12. With the gift of time, SEED provides a transformative wraparound experience for students, in a safe and nurturing environment that sets them on a path to success—both in college and life!

What Makes SEED Miami Different Extraordinary:

• A Unique Mission: SEED Miami was designed for students who most need a 24-hour learning environment. We serve a diverse group of future leaders, many of whom are first-generation college-bound students, from South Florida’s most under-resourced communities.

• Holistic Support: SEED offers so much more than academics. Students live in college-inspired dorms, nutritious meals, have access to medical and mental health services on campus, and experience opportunities that broaden their horizons.

• Around-the-Clock Care: Our staff, including 4 full-time licensed Mental Health Counselors, are available 24/7 to ensure that every student feels supported and empowered.

• Commitment to College Success: SEED students begin working on their college journey in the sixth grade. Through our College Transition & Success program, SEED is a college completion model. SEED alumni receive individualized support from 12th grade through college graduation, helping them find the right college fit and thrive while there.

• A Well-Rounded Experience: At SEED, it’s about more than the classroom. Our students have access to a range of enriching athletics programs, arts, and exposure opportunities. From learning teamwork on the field, to building confidence on stage, to engaging in field trips and mentorships that inspire their future, SEED students are prepared to chase their dreams in every way.

SEED Miami Successes:

Over the last six years, SEED Miami Seniors have achieved an 100% acceptance rate into 2- or 4-year collegiate program. Thanks to the unique SEED Model, SEED Network graduates are out-performing their peers. SEED graduates are 5x more likely to graduate from college than a child with a similar demographic.
