Waiting list

If you would like to submit a waiting list application for the 2023-2024 school year, you may apply on My School DC.  Families will be notified as space becomes available.  Once accepted off of the waiting list, families have 48 hours to accept their offer and submit enrollment documents to SEED DC to secure their child’s seat. The deadline to submit an application for the 2023-2024 wait list is March 20, 2024.

Sibling preference

Families are important to SEED DC. SEED DC strives to keep households together for ease of parent/school relationships, transportation, school calendar logistics, etc. With this in mind, enrollment preference is given to siblings of any scholar who is attending SEED DC and who submits an enrollment application by the designated deadline. A separate application must be completed for each sibling.

  • A sibling is defined as a biological or legally adopted brother or sister, as well as stepbrothers, stepsisters, or foster children.
