Indoor Herb Garden for preschool program

We are wanting to start an indoor herb garden for our preschool program. we have a large ledge (or possible space for vertical garden pockets) in the middle of the classroom. The classroom isn't incredibly dark, but it certainly isn't bright...it doesn't get direct sunlight, although there are east and west facing windows. (The building is surrounded by large trees, however, so light is filtered through the forest, first.)

We are also in an incredibly wet area and as it is an older building, we find that plants that like dry environments don't do great inside - the soil seems to often stay moist after a light watering for up to 10 weeks.

What sort of herbs could be grown in this environment? I don't want the children to plant seeds and then have no luck in growing them! (Our bean plants that we grew in the spring all grew nicely, if that helps...)
