The Young Scholars Program (YSP) of New Jersey SEEDS reaches children in 5th and 6th grades and strives to nurture their love of learning, critical thinking skills, self-confidence, respect for others and sense of responsibility toward the immediate and larger communities.
Three components comprise the 14-month enrichment cycle of the Young Scholars Program: a five-week summer session, classes each Saturday during the academic year, and a second five-week summer session. Upon completion, each child will be placed in an academically challenging independent day or boarding school with substantial financial aid packages.
"SEEDS Saturday classes were no joke. While my friends slept in and watched Saturday morning cartoons, I studied Algebra and prepared for the SSAT. But it was fun too - I met the amazing peers who inspire me and would become my support system...Through thick and thin, good and bad, happy and sad, I always knew that SEEDS genuinely cared for not only my academic well-being and success, but my personal well-being. SEEDS is a family."
