About SEF

Learn about the mission, work, and impact of the Swampscott Education Foundation

Formed to drive educational excellence, SEF will supplement public funding with private sector financing to maximize impact to our schools. These funds will finance projects that cannot be provided by the district budget, state aid, or our Parent Teacher Organizations.

The SEF committee will draw on insights from school administrators, parents, and community members to promote an elite public school system for our community.

Discovery Learning Center Kitchen Renovations

The Discovery Learning Center is a program for students with diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder and other developmental and intellectual challenges. The program relies upon the principles of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), which is used to help students gain skills in all areas, including academics, communication, social skills, and activities of daily living. As part of their programming, the students and faculty use a kitchenette in their classroom to promote competence and independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs),  functional skills, and pre-vocational and vocational skills as they grow. SEF will fund necessary kitchen renovations to adhere to all safety requirements.

Band Uniforms Donated to SHS Marching Band

Band Uniforms Donated to SHS Marching Band

The Swampscott High School (SHS) band has grown substantially in the last 3 years, from 31-52 members under our band director Edi Rovi. The Swampscott Education Foundation (SEF) donated $16,000 to provide new band uniforms to all participating students.

About the SHS Band:
The SHS band performs for our community at sporting events, concerts, parades, and other community gatherings. Supporting the continued growth of our band program allows more students to harness a love of music, and stay involved in school and community events.
