A STRONG FOUNDATION:

Personalized Learning

at Capital Village


With more choice than ever, parents and students want more than a traditional education can offer. Capital Village is blazing new trails with our unique blend of student-driven, project-based learning - in a way to which no other school in the DC area can compare.

Education Beyond Expectations

Students here are treated as individuals.

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.


At Capital Village, learning is real and our learners are empowered to change the world in middle school! We use leaders in our community as experts and our wonderful city as classroom. We take on real issues like gentrification and climate change and tackle real questions like “What is a hero?” We teach life skills, like conflict resolution and goal-setting, alongside powerful cognitive skills, like evaluating an author’s argument. We provide plenty of time during the school day for students to develop their talents, interests, and passions through student-led “passion projects” in courses like Dance, Entrepreneurship and Art.

Redesigning Middle School:

Our middle school learners take the lead, grow together and

change the world. 

We are a small school with big ideas.

  • We are intentionally small, with less than 175 students, so that each student 
  • Learners and families co-design the school day using an individual learning plan
  • Each learner meets with a mentor once a week to review goals and progress

We make learning real. 

  • Rigorous content taught through social-justice projects where students design solutions for local community issues
  • Parents, community leaders and organizations join students as experts
  • We use our DC’s rich local resources as our real-world classroom
