SEED School
A week at The Mustard Seed will engage students in hands-on learning about poverty, homelessness and social issues, thereby challenging students to consider their role in engaging in community.
With its rich history and diverse surrounding community, The Mustard Seed has the potential to move the current CC/OM model to the next level of excellence in teaching and learning in the Calgary beltline. Teachers and students will be immersed in workshops, experiential learning, and service-learning. These experiences will develop and build capacity for critical understandings of our interconnected Calgary-community.
