“I think one of the things that really stood out for SEEQS was that you gave them the tools to think, so that was different than all of the other schools — the integration of all of the subjects together to form a “Why are we doing this?” really tied everything together.”
— SEEQS Alumni Parent
“It is indisputable that this school is so perfect for my son. You see it when he comes home and he is planting a garden and cooking the food coming out of the garden, and he’s really bringing it home. I remember the first week he went to school in 6th grade, he was like, “It’s like I’m going back to camp!”

From Seeds to Sowers

This spring, we are highlighting young leaders in sustainability who are near and dear to our hearts! Each week from now until the end of May, we will feature Alumni SEEQers who have grown the seeds we planted at SEEQS and become “sowers'' of their own vision for a sustainable future. We interviewed each of them to hear more about how SEEQS impacted their education and interests, and we got a glimpse into how they are applying their sustainability skills and mindsets in their lives as young adults. 

SEEQS Sharing Hub Now Open!

We are now offering opportunities to other education professionals to learn SEEQS’s practices in interdisciplinary, place-based, inquiry-focused learning.
