Academics
At Capital Collegiate, academics are the foundation of student success—and every scholar is supported to achieve their full potential. Our Blitz™ Instructional Model delivers focused, small-group instruction to close learning gaps and accelerate growth in reading and math. We also offer Gifted & Talented programming to challenge high-achieving students and keep them engaged. Teachers personalize learning to meet students where they are, while programs in career exploration, life skills, and character education enrich the academic day. Physical education and sports are part of daily life, reinforcing discipline, focus, and teamwork across all areas of learning.
Powered by AMP/edu
Our school is powered by the AMP/edu ecosystem — a unified, modern learning platform that strengthens classroom instruction and enhances every student’s learning experience. AMP brings together curriculum, tools, and resources in one cohesive system, helping teachers deliver engaging, consistent instruction and giving students confidence with a well-supported, high-quality education.
English Language Arts
Our ELA program focuses on building strong readers, writers, and communicators from the earliest grades. Using the Blitz™ Instructional Model, teachers deliver targeted small-group instruction to close gaps and accelerate growth in phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension. Students engage deeply with a range of texts and develop writing skills that support critical thinking and clear expression across all subjects.
Math
Math instruction at Capital Collegiate is designed to develop both foundational fluency and problem-solving confidence. With daily support through the Blitz™ Model, students receive personalized, small-group instruction that builds skills step by step—from basic operations to more advanced reasoning. Emphasis is placed on real-world application, hands-on learning, and progress at each student’s pace.
Science
Science learning comes to life through hands-on activities and inquiry-based exploration. Students investigate life, Earth, and physical sciences while building observation, experimentation, and analysis skills. Lessons are designed to connect science to the real world and encourage curiosity, collaboration, and critical thinking.

Instructional Model
Our school is built on a strong foundation of high expectations for academic achievement for all students. Our instructional model has four key components to achieve strong academic results:
Individualized Instruction
Students participate in a variety of learning activities each day that individualize instruction for each subject area. Students receive whole class instruction, small group instruction, and individual instruction with teachers, technology and other curricular tools.
Properly Certified & Licensed Teachers
Our teachers meet the educator qualification requirements outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA): Bachelor’s degree, grade-level teaching license/certificate & ability to demonstrate subject area expertise. Our teachers are supported by trainers and participate in continuous, research-based professional development. Our teachers are accountable for student learning and rewarded for high quality performance.
More Time on Task
Our students receive double the instruction in ELA and Math to provide a strong foundation for all learning. Beginning with full-day Kindergarten, our school also follows a longer school day and school year than many other schools.
Short Cycle Assessments
Student knowledge of academic standards is assessed formally and informally in short cycles by each teacher. Our teachers adjust class-level and individual instruction based on student performance in these frequent intervals.
