The Independent Study Program provides an alternative educational environment that empowers students and their families to achieve academic and social goals that have been inhibited in the traditional classroom setting.

Based upon the academic requirements of the District-adopted curriculum, Capital City offers the opportunity for students to achieve their graduation goal and provides the foundation for success in pursuing further education or a career.

The programs that are offered by Capital City School are geared at those students with;

  • emotional, physical or health-related issues.
  • severe emotional anxiety, magnified by stressors associated with a traditional school setting.
  • children who must work during school hours.
  • religious commitments, practices and beliefs that have created an antagonistic academic environment.

Our campus provides a safe environment to those students that may have been the target of bullying and physical threating in other school settings. We encourage an environment that empowers the student through interactive classrooms, independent curriculum and individual personal and social development.

Student Life

Post

Capital City School believes that all students can learn. We provide a positive experience that meets individualized student needs and satisfies the SCUSD graduation requirements.

All of our Capital City School students are encouraged to become involved in campus initiatives including “Project Green”, an initiative managed by students and advisors that encourages the tenets of reduce, reuse and recycle. Through this initiative our students demonstrate social responsibility, leadership and are encouraged to propose additional ways to reduce our footprint.

Common Core & The Whole Child

Post

Within the last three years, SCUSD has launched two major teaching and learning initiatives to improve the quality of classroom instruction and the climate for learning at our schools: The California Common Core State Standards and Social-Emotional Learning.

These initiatives are about providing a “whole child” education to the students we serve.

Whole Child means every student:
