Micro-School Serving Stittsville -
Empowering Agency and
Growth Mindset,
Unleashing Potential
At AcadeCap International School, we believe every learner brings a unique combination of strengths and potential. Our Ottawa campus, and we welcome families from Stittsville who are seeking a more personalized alternative to conventional schooling. As an independent micro-school, we provide a structured, academically focused environment where Stittsville high school, middle school, and primary school aged students are supported as individuals and encouraged to grow with confidence.
Small Class Size
As a micro-school welcoming Stittsville families to our Ottawa campus, our low student-to-teacher ratio ensures personalized instruction and meaningful relationships where every student is known and learning.
Learning How to Learn
We prioritize reflection, critical thinking, and academic discipline so students develop the habits that sustain lifelong learning; explore more through our education approach.
Post Secondary Connection
Our micro-school model supports academic depth while meeting Ontario curriculum expectations. Students complete required coursework with clarity and mastery, positioning them for admission to colleges and universities of choice. Equally important, they graduate with a clear understanding of themselves as learners. They know how to manage expectations, advocate for their needs, and pursue their next steps with direction and confidence.
I will always be grateful for the amazing educational years C. SM. had with your fantastic educational team. Her dedication for higher education, her strive to always do her best, her inquisitive mind and love of learning comes from the strong foundation taught to her by you and your teachers.

- Orange Shirt Day
As part of our school-wide recognition of Truth and Reconciliation, students across all ages reflected on the history and ongoing impact of residential schools in Canada. Through guided discussions and shared learning, they explored the importance of honouring the children who were taken from their families, the resilience of Indigenous communities, and our collective responsibility to seek truth, healing, and justice.
Inspired by the teachings of butterflies, sunflowers, and hummingbirds, students created artwork representing transformation, remembrance, and resilience. These natural symbols carry both ecological importance and deep Indigenous significance, reminding us to face the past with truth and move forward with hope.
