Seeds of Health is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to meet the unique needs of urban children through small schools in a caring, personal environment. Seeds of Health was founded in 1983 as a Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Clinic. Recognizing the educational needs of our clients, many of whom were school-age parents, Seeds of Health established its first school - Grandview Hi
gh School - in 1987. We continued growing the Seeds of Health school network in response to Milwaukee families’ calls for high-quality, relationship-based, small-school environments offering multiple pathways toward successful futures for a full range of students, from at-risk to academically advanced. In addition to the WIC Clinic, SOH operates five public schools through charter and partnership agreements, educating more than 1,500 students annually. Schools include Seeds of Health K-8 Elementary, Grandview High School, Veritas High School, and two Tenor High School campuses – Cathedral Square and Journal Square. Each school has a distinct mission, grounded in rigorous, grade-level instruction with scaffolds of support and enhanced by wide-ranging extracurricular activities and social emotional learning initiatives.
