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.
Rooted in history, designed for the here and now, our new campus is perfect for a small school's purposeful dynamic learning.
To pursue learning with purpose in all aspects of life, international mindedness, and engagement towards a peaceful and sustainable world.
To provide an environment which drives learners of all ages to ask questions, think critically, solve complex problems collaboratively, and act. Academic success is achieved through dynamic learning, differentiated teaching and meaningful assessment.
To be a learning community where people matter.
We engage in learning across-the-ages to develop empathy, respect, and collaboration.
We guide development of 21st century competencies, academic progress and personal growth of every learner.
We highly regard honesty, work carefully done, responsibility, and stick-to-iveness in all we do.
We endeavour to give a voice to the many peoples of the world, to be curious about their culture, and to understand and respect it.
