On a crisp October morning, a group of three-year-olds from SEEC’s Full-Time School pressed their noses against the glass of the National Museum of Natural History’s Sant Ocean Hall. Their teacher, clipboard in hand, asked: “What do you notice about how this fish moves?” Within minutes, the children were sketching, comparing, debating.
This is what school looks like at SEEC.
Founded on the belief that children learn best through direct engagement with the real world, SEEC uses the entire Smithsonian campus as its curriculum. The museums are not field trips, they are the classroom.
