Scholars and Young Scholars Programs Begin in June
Our Young Scholars Program officially kicks off June 25 at Delbarton School in Morristown. This year, SEEDS reviewed over 130 applications for just 25 spots, so competition for admission was intense. This year's class is made up of 12 rising fifth graders and 13 rising sixth graders.
For admission to this year's Scholars Program, SEEDS saw more than 600 applications for 125 spots in our Summer Challenge Program, kicking off June 24. Ninety-five of these students will be selected to continue to Leadership Week and then Scholars Academy Saturdays, sponsored by The Coach Foundation, beginning in the fall.
Scholars and Young Scholars to Visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art
On Saturday, May 12, our Scholars and Young Scholars took their annual Arts Trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Before visiting the Museum, students researched a work of art; on site, they shared their research with their classmates, teachers and chaperones.
Following the visit to the Met, our scholars headed to Broadway, where the Scholars saw a performance of Clybourne Park and our Young Scholars saw Sister Act.
