Why Capital Prep?
With 20 years of proven impact, thousands of students applying each year, and a 100% college acceptance rate for our graduates, we remain committed to providing a transformative educational model so that great schools are no longer a privilege, but a right for all.
College Preparatory Model
as early as 6th grade, with rigorous academics and high expectations
Two-Sport Requirement
including competitive varsity athletics, promoting values of teamwork, sportsmanship, positive self-esteem, and health & wellness.
Immersive Social Justice Education
that develops scholars as agents of change in their community & beyond. Seniors must complete and pass Capital Prep's Social Justice Project (SJP) as a graduation requirement.
Dual Enrollment Program
that provides the opportunity for scholars to take college classes, collect college credits, and even earn their Associate Degree at the same time as their High School Diploma.
Student-Led Leadership
such as student-led conferences, student government, and more - that support our scholars’ personal and academic growth beyond the classroom
Whole-Child Approach
with a unique Advisory Model that personally monitors academic achievement as well as social-emotional progress.
Extended Learning
Our extended school year, starting in August through late June (plus summer enrichment), and an extended school day that includes enrichment and athletics, provides even more opportunities to learn and grow.
