History
Educator Noah Bopp founded SEGL in response to the September 11, 2001, attacks.[4] SEGL matriculated its first class of students on August 29, 2009. It opened a second campus in partnership with the African Leadership Academy in 2020. The school opened a third year-round campus, in London, United Kingdom, in the fall of 2023. Since its inception, the school has graduated over 1000 students, most of whom come from across the United States.
School life
Students at SEGL take courses based on a block schedule. Students take Ethics and Leadership for two hours on Monday morning, all day Wednesday, and for two hours on Friday afternoon. Other courses have regular 50-minute and longer block periods. All DC students also take an introductory Arabic and Chinese language and culture course. Along with the specialized SEGL curriculum, students take courses that match sending school requirements. The school also hosts a Summer Ethics and Leadership Institute in DC and offers several summer international excursions. Visits with prominent guest speakers are a core aspect of the Ethics and Leadership course, occurring almost every week of the semester. Guests have included Supreme Court Justice
