Capital Village PCS is a small learning community where learners take the lead, grow together and change the world. We are an intentionally small middle school -- with a maximum enrollment of 175 students and two teachers in every classroom. Our community is a village focused on the interests, needs and ambitions of each individual learner, so that all learners can grow. When a learner enrolls in Capital Village PCS, he/she is matched with a mentor and begins building an Individual Learning Plan alongside his/her family. We teach rigorous curriculum through student-led projects that blend Common Core standards with local social justice problems that students are empowered to design solutions for.
