Students and teachers learn together with a collection of over 8,000 books in The Capitol School's outstanding library .

The Capitol School's philosophy and innovative program are based upon the research of Dr. Howard Gardner who identified what he named the Multiple Intelligences. Dr. Gardner of Harvard University summarized the medical and educational research about teaching and learning and gave rise to a new view of the capacities humans have for learning. At the Capitol School, students are given opportunities to learn and grow in each of these eight areas:

Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence	Logical/Mathematical Intelligence
Visual/Spatial Intelligence	Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence
Musical Intelligence	Naturalist Intelligence
Interpersonal Intelligence	Intrapersonal Intelligence

The Capitol School seeks to identify each student's strengths, then designs learning experiences that meet individual needs while adheringing to state and national standards. Students learn at their own pace and attain mastery of a topic or level before moving ahead. Students are guided toward becoming self-motivated, lifelong learners.

At some schools teachers ask, "How smart is this child?" At The Capitol School our teachers ask, "How is this child smart?"
