College Prep and FAFSA

Offering our students and their families guidance and recommendation to navigate the competitive application process.

For most, college preparation begins as soon as students enter freshmen year. Capital City School makes sure that we guide them every step of the way. Through our College Prep and FAFSA program, we work together with parents and students to ensure that each student attends a college or university that fits their needs.

We offer resources for students and families to assist them in their research for college options and opportunities. One-on-one advising is also available for students as they research their options. In addition, small group support is also provided in order to guide them as they navigate through the entire complex and competitive college application process. Parents can expect meticulous guidance in college and university recommendations, course selection, standardized testing, as well as accomplishing student essays.

We walk students through college systems of interest to them. As soon as they reach Junior year, students will create a solid list of colleges and universities based on their interests, and profile.

To make the process easier and interesting for students, Capital City School makes the initiative to take our high school students on tours around various colleges in the area such as the University of California and California State University. 

Capital City also provides guidance in completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) application and the California Dream Act application (CADAA) determining a student’s financial aid eligibility. The FAFSA will be filled out each academic year through the FAFSA website at www.fafsa.gov  or the CADAA website beginning their senior year of high school.
