School Notes Overview: |
Capitol Hill Day School is an independent, coeducational school for students in prekindergarten through eighth grade. Its primary mission is to provide an education that engages students in the process of learning, with the aim of helping them become thoughtful, caring young people. Together, its academic day program and auxiliary programs in the late afternoon and summer reflect the school's commitment to create a community of students from varying backgrounds in which individual differences are respected and valued. The school believes that students are engaged by the teachers' own enthusiasm for learning. Thus, within broad parameters, teachers are expected to invent, interpret, and shape curriculum, responding sensitively to children's needs, interests, and backgrounds. Teachers work together to integrate the curriculum, relating themes and concepts between subjects and over the years. Respect is given for varying styles of teaching and learning, and different groupings occur within classrooms as appropriate to pedagogical goals. ...read more
