Académie de la Capitale began with a bold vision to provide an internationally recognized education for all students, including those with exceptionalities such as giftedness, dyslexia, and/or ASD. The primary aim was to ensure that all learners become exceptional!
Embracing our building type and its location, we upgraded the locale’s first floor to be an innovative, highly functional and well-equipped i STEAM Maker Lab. Then, as one reached the second level, you would find the open-concept layout, along with an impressive array of student work, both framed and in progress, covering almost all available wall space. Designed to foster interaction between students of different ages, grades, and abilities, AcadeCap functioned like a creative, cutting-edge work hub with focus and collaborative spaces, rather than the traditional amalgam of distinct classrooms.
