For 35 years, Capitol School has been helping children ages 3 years - 5th grade with speech, language, and learning differences find their voice.
Capitol School's mission is to provide an enriched learning environment where children with speech, language, and learning differences can reach their full potential.
Most of our students have a diagnosed speech and or language/learning difference and often experience academic and social challenges. Some of the common diagnoses in the student population include specific learning differences (i.e. dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia), expressive and receptive language difficulties, speech disorders such as childhood apraxia and phonological/articulation disorders, social pragmatic differences, ADD/ADHD, executive functioning challenges, anxiety and auditory or sensory processing difficulties. These children all benefit from our language-rich, small group setting.
Peer models are accepted. The school is accredited by the Texas Alliance of Accredited Private Schools. Curriculum goals focus on language development, which is fundamental for early learning, and are tailored to each child`s individual needs.
