We are a group of educators who believe real-world experience is core to student success.

Our experiential learning model is founded in peer-reviewed research on adolescent development, as well as over 60 years of educational experience.

Our values guide our entire school program, including our performance assessment system. They provide our North Star, ensuring that all CapX students graduate ready for the next academic level, prepared to choose their next path, and able to contribute solutions to real world challenges.

The result? Students successfully apply their learning and use their creativity in a variety of contexts beyond the classroom, making school more enjoyable and effective.
