THE CAPITOL SCHOOL
For 32 years, The Capitol School has taught PK-12th grade students who are grouped into age-based classes. Each student moves ahead at his or her own pace without a“ glass ceiling” that prevents learning above grade levels.
Ages 1 month – Age 5 Nursery and Preschool provides care & education with Montessori materials & 12 certified teachers.
Ages 5 – 11 Elementary School’ s three classrooms are led by Alabama certified teachers holding Master’ s degrees or higher. We offer a rich curriculum based on Multiple Intelligences.
Ages 11-14 Middle School teaches higher-level academic practices needed for analyzing text and data, organizing notes, writing with clarity and purpose, and presenting their ideas with confidence.
Ages 14-18 High School students pursue mastery learning of content for 9th through 12th grades. They expand academic skills, engage in community service, and pursue one of two paths to college and career readiness: Early College at UA or technical courses at Shelton State. At Capitol School, students thrive, finding their own capacity for excellence in a caring, individual-focused learning environment. We put an emphasis on people skills. Parents have found our faculty responsive to the needs of their children. We want what you want-- to see your child grow into a confident, engaged, ambitious and generous adult.
Capitol School is nationally accredited by COGNIA, the leading educational accreditation association.
We care about your child’ s passion and we offer a flexible schedule for out of school activities. However, students pursue their passions at school by participating in lessons in Music, Violin, Piano, Art, Spanish, German, Sports as well as the traditional curriculum including reading, writing, math, science, and social studies / history
