Our schools
SEEDS believes that by working together to enrich educational opportunities for children in every Daphne school – both public, private and Catholic – we not only strengthen our community today but we unite for a more prosperous future, as well.
Our participating schools, all accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, include:
